Answer 2

I like chopped steak in chili. I also like chili with three parts hamburger meat and one part spicy ground sausage.

1 lb good ground beef
1 (1 lb) package hot Italian sausages, removed from casing
1 1/2 large onions, diced
7 garlic cloves, rough chopped
1/8 cup chili powder
4 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes (more or less to taste)
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 (16 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (4 ounce) can tomato sauce
shredded cheddar cheese
salt
pepper

The recipe doesn't call for it, but I would add beans to my chili.

Beans=good chili ;)

In large pot/dutch oven brown beef. In skillet crumble sausage into 1 inch pieces and brown with 1-onion (reserve rest for topping) and garlic. Once beef is brown add chicken stock and spices. Cook until mixed well, add sausage, onions and garlic and combine. Add tomatoes and tomato sauce and simmer on low until you are ready to eat. The longer it cooks the spicier it will get. Also the longer it simmers the more flavor you get. Top with cheddar cheese and onions.

I use black beans-drained and rinsed, chili beans mild and kidney beans-drained and rinsed definitely. also I may add pinto or garbanzo-yum! Drained and rinsed.
tomatoes with chilis and tomato paste.
1/2 pack taco seasoning. 1/2 jar salsa.
ground chuck.
bell pepper,onion and fresh tomato.
I can not give specs beacuase I use what I have on hand or leftover. It tastes different each time but is so bomb-diggity!
