Spices
- 2 Tablespoons Chili Powder

Instructions
- Roast chilies in oven on a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Put under broiler until blackened. Put in baggie and let sweat for 10 minutes. Remove skins and chop.
- In extra large stock pan, brown your hamburger until cooked. Add your veggies and cook 5 minutes. Add your spices and cook 5 minutes more. Add all other ingredients and simmer for 1 hour, stir every few minutes.
- Chili is always better with condements. Us fresh chopped red onioins, fresh jalopenos or cheese. We like to use it all.
- This chili freezes nicely. Once its done cooking, place in plastic container, let cool and freeze. Perfect for lunches.
