Devona's nose drippin' chili

This is my very own recipe for chili, but be warned! It will burn a hole through you stomach and make your nose drip while you desperately stuff your face. "It's better than good, it's grrreat!"

1 pound of your choice style hamburger meat
1/2 pound of your choice: shrimp, chicken, deer meat, or steak
2 cans of red kidney beans
2 cans of diced tomatoes
2/3 cup of chili powder
2 tbs of cayenne pepper
1 tbs of minced garlic
1 tsp of salt
1 tsp of black pepper
1/2 cup of Masa flower
1 onion
1 bell pepper
2 (or 3) big chili peppers
4 jalapino peppers
4 cayenne peppers

Brown all of your meat. Poor kidney beans and diced tomatoes into crock pot (juices and all).
Chop up all of your peppers and your onion. Add the peppers to the crock pot. Add browned meat. Add all of your seasonings. And cook for at least 4-5 hours starting on high and readjusting it to low as the peppers start to soften. Stir occasionally and add more Masa flower to desired consistency. I like mine thick.
Serve in a sturdy bowl...this chili ain't made for Styrofoam bowls! Add cheese and salsa if desired and eat with chips and crackers.
Just one more thing...you should take some pepcid about an hour before you eat!
Enjoy!
