CHILI
from the Grace Bailey

Serves 35

(Plan on soaking beans overnight)

4-6 cups kidney beans
8 lbs. hamburger
3 large onions, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 green peppers, diced
1 #10 can tomato sauce
1 #10 can peeled tomatoes
3 tbs. chili powder
2 tbs. cumin
salt & pepper to taste
16 oz. sour cream
jalapeno peppers

Place beans in very large pot. Pour water over them until pot is half full; soak overnight. Next day, drain water. Refill half full and parboil until beans start to crack; set aside. Sauté meat, onions, garlic and green pepper. (Reserve 1 cup of mixture if making nachos.) Drain off fat. Add meat to bean mixture, and then add tomato sauce, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and simmer on low heat 30 minutes. Serve with spoonful of sour cream and sliced or chopped jalapenos.
