List of Ingredients




1 lb. lean ground beef
1 lb. hot Italian sausage
1 lg. or 2 sm. cans whole peeled tomatoes, undrained
1 sm. can tomato paste (Italian style not plain)
2 pkgs. chili seasoning (one hot, one reg.)
1 lg. Spanish onion, or 2-3 sm. ones, chopped coarse
1 med. green pepper, chopped coarse
1 med. red pepper, chopped coarse
2-3 sm. Jalapeno peppers, sliced
2 cans red kidney beans, undrained (1 dark, 1 light red)
A dash or two of crushed red pepper

Recipe



Brown ground beef and sausage together in a large pan, drain fat. Add remaining ingredients and cook covered over medium heat for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally and mashing up tomatoes with spoon. Let simmer uncovered over low heat for 1-2 hours more, stirring occasionally. Serve with fresh Italian bread and your favorite cold beverage.

This recipe won 2nd place (out of 25 entries) in the National Hispanic Week Chili Cook-Off Competition at Watervliet Arsenal (18 October 91).

If you like your chili flavorful but not too hot, substitute sweet Italian sausage for hot, and reduce or elminate the Jalapeno peppers and crushed red pepper.
