TO SERVE

Thought I'd pass this along. It came from Freida's...I bought a package of their dried habaneros, and recipe was on package..I think...at any rate..

er...howzabout some recipes for jalapeno "firecrackers" or "poppers"..I have experimented on my own...but still looking for a tried and true recipe...

Use just one of the dried Habanero chiles if you like chili with a bearable kick; add more if your dinners are eager to sweat! In a large Dutch oven or stockpot, heat half of the oil. Brown meat in hot oil on all sides; remove from pan with a slotted spoon. Drain off fat. Add remaining oil to pan; sauté onion, bell pepper, and garlic for 3 minutes.

Stir in cooked beef, kidney beans and liquid, chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, blackeyed peas, habanero chiles, cilantro, basil, brown sugar, Worcestershire and bay leaf. Bring mixture to boiling; reduce heat.

Simmer, partially covered for 35 to 45 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Stir in corn and salt to taste; cook 5 minutes more. Remove bay leaf. Serve in bowls topped with shredded cheese; pass warm tortillas.

Makes 8 cup chili.
