ALL AMERICAN COUNTY FAIR PRIZE WINNING CHILI

Steps:

• Put ALL ingredients in a pot and cook for 5 to 10 hours.
• Stir occasionally.
• Put the chili and jalapeno peppers in last with their stems sticking up out of the chili. This makes them easy to remove for those who don't want their chili hot!
• The ingredients list is enough to make 2 pots worth (dutch oven size).
• I usually omit the meat from one pot and make a vegetarian batch at the same time. It's good for your vegan friends and as lighter fare for lunch!
• **All amounts are approximate. Use what is convenient, available and adjust to taste.
• **The meat can go into the pot raw with all the other ingredients. It will cook right along with them and be more flavourful and tender as a result - especially the steak. I am so happy you like this chili! Thank you for the great reviews! Enjoy!
