steak chunks - I just get the precut packaged pieces at the store. Get whatever meat you like. CHUNKS!
canned beans. You can roll out soaking your beans, but I just get canned.
2 pinto
2 kidney
1 black
Tomato sauce. one of those fat boy cans. Or get the puree in smaller cans and mix with a little water. I also usually find a diced chunk tomato with chili pieces in it. Thats good for substance.
onion if you want... I go with and without at times.
peppers. This is where flavor and heat come from.
at least 2 jalapenos More if youre batching this shit up.
2 habaneros - makem good ones. Dont be a puss ;)
Spices - dont skimp on the sparkles.
Ground Cumin... this is your chili flavor!!! put enough but dont overdo it either.
Chilipowder... Go ape shit with this. I put in a good amount. You cant really over do this.
Onion and garlic powder.
Black pepper. dont skimp but dont go ape shit like the Chili powder ;)
I always cook up my meat first and I season it all as well. Ill cook it up with it coated in chili powder and pepper.
Combine all the sauces and spices in a crock pot.get it warm. open and drain all the cans of beans. I usually get a colander and combine them all in there, rinse them off and then throw them in with the mix. Add the meat as well. let it cook for at least 5 hours. You will need to check it ever half hour or so. Stir it. Add water if you need to. Add spices if you think you need to. The longer it cooks, the better it is.
An hour before its done. make your corn bread. YOU HAVE to have cornbread.
that shit will heat you up and warm your belly for sure.
