I use McCormick Chili mix. You can get hot or mild. Your taste for that pick. 1 to 3 pounds of beef, Tri blend of beans if making a large batch 1 can or dark, light and black beans. For every pound of beef, I use i can of beans. I blended onion, 1 can of diced and 1 can of puree tomatoes. 2 or 3 Hungarian hot peppers per pound of meat, with seeds and a lot of the membrane removed, but not all. finely chopped or blended along with the onion. A Hotter pepper if you like it hot.
TJ have you ever tried chili poured over pasta or flat egg noodles? They call it chili mac here.
