PHIL'S 3 BEAN/5 PEPPER CHILI

Steps:

• Get lean ground beef and ground pork on a 3:1 ratio. Brown them while throwing paprika, garlic salt, salt and pepper, and chili powder on them. While you're tossing this around, throw the following items together: Cans of: garbanzo beans (chick peas), black beans (rolling in protein), red beans or white beans. grab a little extra of each in case you feel the need to add more; two little cans of tomato paste, one can of corn (not cream corn), diced green chile (if'n you can find it). The following veggies: jalapeño peppers, red bell peppers, serrano peppers, banana peppers (also called Hungarian), habanero peppers (go for the orange ones for color). Be careful with the peppers, as the seeds will burn your eyes and make the chile insanely hot (especially habaneros). Onions (may wanna go with Vidalia), ginger, carrots (yup), garlic, cilantro, anything else makes you happy. Cut and toss in to taste. Spices to add: cinnamon and brown sugar (especially to bring out the sweetness of various peppers and soften the onions), oregano, chili powder, paprika, fennel seed (go easy), garlic powder, sea salt (better for your digestion), ground black pepper, cumin, ground basil, rosemary, parsley, ground mustard (not seeds). I throw it all together and measure by smell, since that's half of taste. Trust your nose, taste as needed, add or subtract. if it needs to be thicker, try bread crumbs and/or a raw egg.
