HOT 4-Pepper Chili

[Smackie Chan]

This might be my initial contribution to this here forum, and it's not for the timid. If making chili is comparable to brewing beer, then I definitely didn't take mvscal's advice and practice subtlety. This may not win any chili cook-offs, but it will give the sweat glands a workout.

2 lbs stew beef, cut into small chunks
1 small to medium chopped onion (I used a sweet one)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup finely chopped cilantro
2 Anaheim chili peppers
3 habanero peppers
4 jalapeno peppers
6 dried chipotle peppers
2 cans of kidney beans, drained & rinsed
1 jar of hot salsa
1 can of tomato sauce
1 can of stewed Mexican-style tomatoes
3 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp cayenne pepper

Brown the beef & drain the fat. I sliced half of each type of pepper, and split open the rest so the seeds could easily escape into the mixture. Threw everything into a crock pot and let it cook overnight. Very tasty and quite spicy, but not quite to the point of pain & suffering.

Just ate the first bowl a little while ago, so I'll tell you tomorrow. I expect it'll be fine, perhaps with a bit of a singe.

Wow, that's hot.

Tomorrow morning, he may experience a Red-Paper-Special.

Topped off the lunch chili with spicy Ethiopian food for dinner, so yeah.

A routine, burn-free, run-of-the-mill loaf pinch. The trick is to take a big swig of milk shortly after downing the chili, and rescheduling the morning commode punishment til afternoon. Really takes the edge off.

I'd have to eat an entire bottle of Tums after that.

The cayenne, chili powder, & hot salsa gave it a little extra boost, too.

After two fairly good size bowls of the chili, I was expecting that, especially after having awaze tibs at an Ethiopian restaurant for a late dinner. But all was well. Didn't have to bust out the halon. I've told myself & others I have a cast iron stomach. Now I believe it. My 17-yr-old son ate a bowl, too. No major problems reported.
