Thank you all for your help!  I was desparate for a bowl of chili and
didn't have any chili powder on-hand -- I haven't been able to find any
locally without additives like msg.  Luckily, my desparate attempt for
chili was a big success, even my husband and kids liked it -- and it's hard
to please them all!  If anyone would like my recipe, here it is!

Cook about 2 cups dried anasazi beans with cumin, fresh chopped garlic, and
olive oil.  When cooked, add salt, stir, then drain.

Mix seasoning blend in small bowl:
	3 t cayenne pepper
	 2 1/4 t garlic powder
	1 1/2 t black pepper
	1 1/2 t salt
	3/4 t oregano
	3/4 t thyme
	3/4 t dry mustard

Rinse bean pot and brown 1 small package Jimmy Dean Hot sausage.  Drain and
put beans and sausage back in pot.  Add small can (~ 8 oz) whole tomatoes
and same size can tomato sauce and about 3/4C water.  Add seasoning blend,
fresh chopped garlic, and several chopped green onions.  Add a few shakes
of crushed red pepper flakes, stir then simmer.

If anyone knows of a good source for organic chili pepper products, please
let me know!
