Here is my basic recipie

For my basic Chili - 2 1/2 Alarm Chili with or without beans.

Brown quality Aussie Minced Beef
Sautee chopped Onions and lots of Garlic
Sautee Green Capsicum and Red Capsicum
Put all ingredients in one pot.

Add Spices:
Black Pepper
Cumin
Salt
Chilli powder (lots)
Paprika
Cayenne Pepper

Add chopped Red Chili

Add Tins of Tomatoes

Add Tomato Paste (if necessary, depending on the thickness of the tomatoes)

Cook for a while then add drained kidney Beans

Simmer for another hour or more until the right consistency is arrived at.

Refrigerate for at least one day.

As for quantities, sorry I will not give them away.

My Chili will be available in Sihanoukville at my resort next summer season.

For the 4 alarm Chili, just add more chopped Chili. - The one for the competition did not have beans, as I prefer Chili this way and for a point of difference.

My entering of the Chilis in this competition was for market research, with the Peoples Choice my goal, which was achieved. The average person is my potential customer no the Judges.

I will be entering both again in the LoneStar Chili competition this year, but I may put beans in the 4 Alarm Chili.
