Brown All Chopped Veggies and Spices

- Add crushed red pepper, chili powder, salt, pepper, oregano (about 2 minutes)
Return Meat to Pot
Add Water, tomato paste, and WHOLE JALAPEÑO’S simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes….
****If you put the whole jalapeño pepper in the liquid and let it steep into the chili as a whole….it’s not as hot
Taste again to see if it needs more salt…usually it does
Remove jalapeño peppers…..chop and add to chili if you want a little extra heat
Serve in bowl with a little shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream and large Frito chips arranged around the bowl to scoop!
