Extra-Spicy Chili

1 Pound lean ground beef

1 Onion, chopped

4 Jalepeno peppers

3 Ripe, fresh tomatoes, diced

4 Bay leaves

1 can Kidney beans

1 1/4 cups Store-bought beef broth

1/2 tbsp Chili powder

3 tsp Cayenne pepper

1 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder

1 tsp Basil

Dash salt

Dash black pepper

Frank's Red Hot Sauce to taste

Olive oil to cook with

Directions

In a frying pan, add a teaspoon of olive oil on slightly above medium heat. Add chopped onions and ground beef. Cook until beef is brown and onions are golden (should take under 10 minutes). In a medium sized pot on the same temperature, pour the beef broth. Add the beef, onions and tomatoes and stir. Allow mixture to cook with a lid covering the pot (around 7-8 minutes). Meanwhile, cut jalapenos lengthwise into slivers and drain kidney beans in a colander. Add both the jalapenos and kidney beans to mixture and stir in. Add bay leaves, cayenne pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, basil, salt and pepper and stir another minute or so. Place a lid on the pot and allow mixture to cook for 2-3 minutes. Add Frank's Red Hot Sauce to taste and serve in bowls. Top with sour cream, grated cheddar cheese or whatever you prefer. Makes up to 10 medium sized bowls.
