You can do this.

Please remember that spices are used just enough to taste, not to over kill.

I like bay leaves, oregano, any pepper black, white, red, or whatever. Also like to use a little bit of molasses or honey, or brown sugar.

sure. i like wick fowler's 2 alarm chili :)

Absolutely you can use the mixture. Just cook it like you would if you were only using beef. Be sure to have corn bread with it and put a dollop of sour cream on top of the chili in your bowl and sprinkle with some cheddar cheese. YUM

Yes, you can use your mix of ground beef and pork - just replace the ground beef with it and drain it well after browning.

Chili
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes

Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 cup chopped green sweet pepper (1 small)
1/2 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
1 15-ounce can red kidney beans, undrained
1 15-ounce can spicy chili beans, undrained
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Chopped onion (optional)
Dairy sour cream (optional)
Crushed red pepper (optional)

Directions
1. In a 3-quart saucepan cook and stir ground beef, sweet pepper, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and the garlic over medium heat until meat is brown and onion is tender. Drain off fat.

2. Stir in tomato sauce, undrained beans, undrained tomatoes, chili powder, salt, basil, and black pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. To serve, ladle chili into bowls. If desired, top each serving with cheese, chopped onion, and/or sour cream and pass crushed red pepper. Makes 4 main-dish servings.

3. Chili for Two: Prepare as above, except divide all ingredients in half.

4. Cincinnati-Style Chili: Prepare as above, except omit sweet pepper, basil, and optional garnishes. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper with the tomato sauce. To serve, place 1/2 cup hot cooked spaghetti on each of 4 serving plates; make an indentation in center of each portion. Top each serving with some of the chili, 1 to 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese, 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped onion, and/or 1/4 cup additional kidney beans.
