Salt (2 tablespoons or to taste)
Pepper (1 tablespoon or to taste)

Recipe



In a large stew pot place the tomato sauce, crushed tomatos and chicken broth. Cover and bring it to a boil. After it is brought to a boil turn the burner down to Low and add all of the spices except for the cayenne pepper and add the two baskets of mushrooms (do not prewash the mushrooms). Allow the mixture to simmer on low while you prepare the meats. In a frying pan, cook and drain the ground beef add it to the stew pot. Cook and drain the ground pork (may not need draining) and add to stew pot. Cut the stew beef into small cubes and sear them and add to the stew pot. Break apart the sausage poatties, cook them thoroughly and add to the stew pot. In a separate frying pan (coat with a little olive oil) add the chopped green pepper, the chopped onion, the minced garlic and sautee or cover until the vegetables are wilted. Add this mixture to the pot. It should start to smell really good about now... Add the 2 cans of kidney beans but drain and rinse them first. Allow the chili to simmer on low for about an hour occasionally sprinkling in a handful of parmesan cheese (you can do this to taste) After 1 hour add the cayenne pepper and stir well. Allow to simmer for anothe half hour. Turn off the burner and allow to cool. I usually make it a day ahead of time and refrigerate it after cooling over night...it's always better the second day. Other hints: Depending on your taste for cumin and the other spices you can also season the meats while browning them. Have a small loaf of fresh bread avaiable while your're preparing the chili for tasting and "add as you go". If the chili needs to be thickened just add some potato flakes, it's a lot better tasting than using flour.
