Recipe for "chili-4"

NAME

     CHILI-4 - A simple prizewinning chili with beans
     This recipe is one I developed on my own. It has won several
     awards in chili cookoff contests.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 12-16)

     1 kg      ground beef
     1         medium onion, chopped
     2         garlic cloves, minced
     2.5 ml    salt
     1.75 l    tomato sauce
     200 g     green chilies, diced (2 standard cans)
     3         tomatoes, sliced
     60 g      chili powder
     2.5 ml    ground allspice
     10 ml     crushed red pepper
     2.5 ml    ground black pepper
     0.5 ml    ground white pepper
     0.5 ml    MSG
     0.5 ml    oregano
     0.5 ml    ground cloves
     5 ml      sugar
               seasoned salt
     400 g     red kidney beans
     200 g     sliced pepperoni

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Fry together the ground beef, ontion, garlic,  and
               some salt until the beef is browned.
          (2)  Meanwhile in a  large  kettle,  mix  together  the
               tomato sauce, green chilies, and tomatoes and heat
               over low heat.
          (3)  When the hamburger is done,  mix  in  with  tomato
               sauce  mixture.   Add the spices, salt, and sugar,
               stir well, and adjust ingredients  to  taste.   It
               will taste hotter later than it does now.
          (4)  Simmer for about 1.5 hours, and then add beans and
               pepperoni.   Simmer  for  30 minutes longer. Serve
               over rice, topped with shredded cheddar cheese.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 3 hours of intermittent  attention.
     Precision: approximate measurement OK.
