My chilli recipe is simple and one can add and subtract spices to taste. Also, one can brown one punt beef or turkey with the onions for a meat chilli. Soak, according to directions on bag:
8 oz. dried kidney beans
8 oz. dried black beans
8 oz. dried pinto beans
4 oz. dried garbanzo beans
Brown in large pot:
One medium chopped onion
3 to 5 cloves of minced garlic
(One pound beef tips, ground beef or ground turkey)
Make sure that the beans are tender (if not, boil them until they are),
Two 16 oz. cans Tomato sauce
one 8 oz. can of corn
3 or more tbs. chilli powder.
2 tbs. ground cummin
chopped fresh cilantro to taste (I recomend about 1 fl. oz of the chopped leaves.) If out of fresh cilantro, ground corriander seed will do, about 1 tbs.
1 or 2 bay leaves
Ground cayanne pepper or* minced fresh jalapeno peppern to taste.
Juice of one lime
2 tsp. sugar.
Cook this covered on a range at low heat for at least an hour. The chilli should be hearty. Check periodically that it isn't too thick, if it is add enough water to give it the right consistency.
