    I don’t feel so good.

    I’d like to taste that, but I don’t feel so good just looking at the recipe. Chili powder, cinnamon, *and* pepper!?

    Thanks for the recipe. I didn’t follow it exactly, ‘cept for the general timing. Here’s the diff:

    chili beans
    diced fresh tomatoes
    1 tsp curry powder
    1 habanero pepper
    diced celery

    no pepper or cinammon (forgot to put in the cinammon)

    sounds awesome! Have you tried letting it slow simmer for hours before serving?

    what awards did your chili win?

    does the recipe double well?

    I’ll give it a try.

    20 mins is the minimum. The 2 award winning batches simmered for ~1 hour. It should double very well.
