Ingredients

  • 2 -3 lbs ground beef (can substitute ground chicken or turkey)
  • 2 green bell peppers (substitute in a yellow or orange once in a while)
  • 3 banana peppers
  • 6 -10 jalapeno peppers
  • 2 Spanish onions (Large)
  • 3 (29 ounce) cans tomato puree (substitute Sauce if you like, I prefer it thicker)
  • 2 (40 ounce) cans dark red kidney beans
  • crushed red pepper flakes (dash to as hot as you like)
  • 2 1/4 ounces chili powder
  • 3 tablespoons adobo seasoning (more or less to taste)
  • 3 tablespoons seasoning salt (more or less to taste)
  • 10 -15 fresh garlic cloves
  • 3 tablespoons black pepper (more or less to taste)
  • 3 tablespoons ground cumin (more or less to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons ground jamaica allspice (this is clutch, (to taste)

Method

  • Dice all peppers and onions.
  • Start browning meat in the same pot you'll cook the chili in (around a 16 quart pot), put a dash of all spices listed onto meat as it's browning.
  • Before meat finishes browning, mix all onions and peppers in with meat.
  • When meat is browned, dump all three cans of tomato puree into pot.
  • Mince garlic, put in pot.
  • Start mixing spices in as the puree heats up (I usually put a teaspoon of everything in right away, taste it, add more as the day goes on).
  • Dump the remaining bottle of chili powder in (again, I portion it out as the day goes on, but by the end of the day, it's gone).
  • Let cook for a minimum of a couple hours (longer the better, I usually go around four) then dump in both cans of beans (don't drain).
  • Once chili comes back to a boil, it's good to go!
  • Serve with cheddar cheese, sour cream and Italian bread.
