A hearty stick to you ribs chili I developed for a Veterans group that meets on Wednesday nights at a close friends house. ...

Ingredients:

2 1/2 lbs ground beef

2 lbs bulk pork sausage

1 lb chopped bacon

1 (28 ounce) can chopped tomatoes

1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce

15 ounces red kidney beans

1/2 cup water

3/4 cup prepared ketchup

4 cloves chopped garlic

1 tablespoon cumin

4 tablespoons chili powder

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon cajun seasoning

1/2 cup sugar

2 large bell peppers, medium chopped

3 spanish onions, fine chopped

2 jalapeno peppers, seeds and veins removed diced fine

1 tablespoon dried chili pepper flakes (optional only if you like it hot!!!)

4 tablespoons worcestershire sauce

Directions:

1. First, brown all meats in roasting pan in oven at 415 degrees. While meat is browning combine all remaining ingredients in heavy-bottomed stock pot. stir well.
2. Add browned meat fat drained away to pot stir well. bring to boil and reduce heat to simmer on low for 4-6 hours covered. About 30 min before serving time if you prefer a thicker sauce with your chili make a slurry of a 1/4 cup of cool water to a heaping tbs, of cornstarch mix until lumps disappear. Add to pot an stir. Chili will tighten up almost immediately.
