HOLY MOTHER FLETCHER!! This chili is hot!!!(spicey) . I can feel the hair follicles forming!! I to your awesome cookiness!!
I use anywhere from 1/2 cup of chili powder to a cup of chili powder, depending on the size of the pot I'm fixin'. That doesn't count the cayenne & red peppers I add to it. If I'm making it for me or any other Texan, I don't use beans. If Yankees are present, I'll throw in some beans just to appease their tastelessness. They don't know any different, anyways. Bless their little hearts.......
