Today I did something I never did before: I made chili completely from scratch.

Here is what I used:

Main Ingredients:

Handful of Stew Beef Chunks
Handful of Turkey
Handful of Black Beans
1 Tomato
1/4 Cup of Virgin Olive Oil

Peppers:

2 Jalapeno Peppers
1 Bell Pepper

Spices and Such:

1 Table Spoon of Chopped Onion
1 Tea Spoon of Ancho Chili Powder
1 Tea Spoon of Chipoltle Powder
1 Tea Spoon of Chili Powder
1 Dash of Black Pepper
1 Dash of Cayenne Pepper
1 Dash of Garlic Powder

What I did first was core the tomato, boil some water, and blanch the tomato to remove the skin. Then I chopped up the Tomato and put it in a pot with the Olive Oil on medium heat, stirring until I had a nice tomoto paste.

Then I chopped up all the Peppers and threw them into the pot along with all the Spices and Such. I let that cook for about twenty minutes with a light boil, stirring occasionally. Then I threw in the Stew Beef Chunks along with about 1/2 cup of water and let that cook for about an hour on a light boil, stirring occasianally.

Then I threw in half of the Black Beans and some more water and let that cook for about 5 hours, adding water as it would boil down and stirring occasionally of course.

Then I threw in the Turkey and the rest of the Black Beans and cooked it for about another hour until it cooked down to a nice consistancy.

The end result was a very delicious chili, one of the best tasting things I think I have ever made, even better than my hot wings. I will have to make a large batch of this sometime and invite some people over for some spicy goodness.
