Sally's Chili

Sally used a number of dried ingredients (garlic and onions, for example) which I've replaced with fresh ingredients. I've also added some jalapeño peppers.

Ingredients

• 4 lbs lean ground beef (for a vegetarian version, just omit this, or use 400 grams of dry TVP)
• 8 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 white onions, chopped
• 8 jalapeño peppers, chopped and seeds removed (if you want it spicy, leave the seeds in)
• 140 oz canned red kidney beans (or black beans, or a mixture)
• 140 oz canned Italian plum tomatoes
• ½ bottle chili sauce
• 2 T Worcestershire sauce
• ½ cup chili powder
• 3 bay leaves
• ¼ cup crushed cumin seed
• ¼ cup crushed red pepper

To Prepare

1. In a large pot, sauté the beef, garlic, and onions until the beef is brown and the onions translucent
2. Add all remaining ingredients
3. Simmer for 2 hours
