List of Ingredients
The Meat:
1-lb. Ground beef
1-lb. Hot Ground Pork Sausage
1-lb. Smoked sausage - Cut this up into 1/2" chunks. I don't recommend using more than 1 Lb. because it'll make it taste like spaghetti sauce! :-(
The Veggie Stuff:
1- Large onion coarsely chopped
2 (or more) minced/pressed Cloves of garlic
1- Large bell pepper cut into 3/4" chunks,
1/3 cup Yellow Corn meal
2 -28oz Cans of Ready Cut Tomatoes
2-27oz cans of Kidney beads - Drain and reserve 1/2 of the liquid to mix with the corn meal
The Spices (The real meat of the tomato)
1 Tbs. Ground oregano
3 Tbs. Chili Powder
1 Tsp Ground Coriander
1 1/2 Tsp. Celery Seed
1/8 Tsp. Cayenne Pepper*
1 Tbs. Tabasco sauce*
1 tsp mustard
2 to 4 Dried Serrano Chiles*
1/8 Tsp Dried powdered Habanero peppers*
1 tsp paprika
1/8 Cup (About, I didn't really measure it!) Good Red Wine.
* These things just add the "Zing" and not much full bodied flavor. That is what the wine and other things do for it.
Recipe
How cook it:
In a large pot, brown the beef, pork, onions and garlic over medium heat.
After the above is browned, add the bell pepper and the smoked sausage. Cook for 5 to 10 more minutes.
Reduce heat to low (and drain most of the fat IF YOU ARE WATCHING THINGS!)
Blend in the tomatoes and spices and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Stir in the drained beans. In a small bowl, mix the bean liquid with the corn meal until it's like pancake patter.
Mix the "batter" into the chili and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or MORE. I simmer my batchs for about 2 hours, so use your judgement on this.
Sprinkle with Mozzarella or Gouda cheese and serve with sourdough bread. Or, make a Chili sandwich with a good sourdough roll.
FOR THE BEST TASTE, FREEZE THE RESULT TO "CURE" THE MIX! THAW, HEAT AND SERVE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THIs RECIPE! IT IS VERY VERY HOT!:-) NOT FOR THE WEAK AT HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
