chili powder, cayenne, cumin, paprika, salt,
pepper, sage & basil. I can't tell you
proportions, 'cause I just shake out spice until
it 'tastes right'}
1 can (32 oz?) crushed or whole tomatoes
1 can (16 oz) kidney beans\
1 can (16 oz) white beans --don't drain out the 'juice'!
1 can (16 oz) black beans /
Directions
Get a big pot (dutch oven should be right size).
Brown beef & sausage (do the pork first!). After it's all browned, add
the chili mix/spices (for extra-hot, add more cayenne & a few dashes
of tabasco sauce). Use butter or margarine for browning, NOT OIL!
In separate pan, saute green chilis, onion, bell pepper & garlic in
butter or margarine. (do the bell peppers first for about 3 mins) Add
sauteed stuff to the pot with the meat. Add the rest of the
ingredients (don't drain out the beans!). Simmer for 3-4 hours,
uncovered, stirring occasionally. If the chili is too 'wet', add masa
flour or some cornstarch to thicken it up.

Put da chili on top da rice & eat 'em up!
