Kind of depends on your tolerance ;-) Used a lot of steak, fresh ground cumin, onions, garlic, ground chuck, 3 kinds of beans (nothing from the purists now- this JC needs cheap fillers when feeding the masses for free ;-), some pork, and a lot of chipotles. The chili powder was first rate too- Ron Metzgers' (a lurker) 'Armageddon Chili Powder'. I did have two people crying their eyes out come back for seconds. -Jim C MWPH I fixed a slightly milder version of it for the local FOX televisions' morning show. Pretty funny! They were dying on air and having convulsions when we went to commercial. Didn't have the heart to tell them that was the mild version :-)
