I made a bit of chili a couple weeks ago over the fire, and it came out pretty well, so I wrote it down to make it my official recipe.

John's Chili (8 qt)

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 58 oz canned plain tomato sauce
• 15.5 oz canned diced tomatos for chili
• 93 oz canned dark red kidney beans
• 31 oz canned black beans

• 1 onion
• 0.5 tomato
• 0.5 green bell pepper
• 0.5 yellow bell pepper
• 3 hot finger peppers
• 1 red chili pepper

• 0.25 cup minced garlic
• 2 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tbsp crushed red pepper
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp black pepper
• tabasco

1. Over medium heat (dutch oven 6 inches over coals), brown beef with 1 tbsp chili powder. Don't drain grease.
2. Add tomato sauce, diced tomatos, beans.
3. Chop and add fresh tomato, onion, and peppers.
4. Add minced garlic, and other seasonings, including more chili powder, to taste.
5. Adjust heat to boil slowly covered or uncovered, depending upon desired thickness.
6. Stir occassionally, taste liberally, adjust, repeat.
7. It'll probably cook for up to 2 hours.
