A slightly different approach to the traditional chili! Cannot wait to try it! Myron in rather mild Florida PS Of course, you chile-heads can heat this up through the use of your favorite powders! Singapore Chili INGREDIENTS 1-1/2 lbs Ground beef 1/2 Onion, sliced into large chunks 1 Green pepper, diced 1 15 oz can Tomato sauce 1 15 oz can Diced or stewed tomatoes 1 15 oz can Kidney beans 1 15 oz can Chili beans 1 Tbs Chili powder 1 tsp Cayenne pepper 1 tsp Black ground pepper 1 Tbs Cinnamon 1 tsp Garam masala (optional) 1/2 tsp Chinese hot chili oil 1/4 cup Honey (optional) DIRECTIONS In a large skillet, brown the ground beef. Drain fat. With slotted spoon, scoop the beef and onions into a 5 qt. crockpot. Add the onion chunks, diced green pepper, tomato sauce, diced or stewed tomatoes and both varieties of canned beans. Mix until well blended. Add the spices and chili oil next, adjusting the measures to suit your taste... and tolerance. Mix well again. Turn the crockpot on 'low' and simmer for at least 4 hours. (Our chef will usually simmer his chili overnight.) During the last hour of cooking, before serving, add the optional honey and continue cooking. Serve in bowls, or 'Cincinnati' style as a topping for spaghetti. Either way, you can also sprinkle grated cheese on top, too, as a garnish.
