Cookoff-Winning Chili

Ingredients

• 3 lb Ground beef (Brown and drain)
• 1 lb Hot breakfast sausage (Jimmy Dean hot; do not drain)
• 6 oz Tomato paste
• 1 Yellow onion (Large, chopped)
• 3 Jalapeño peppers (Fresh, chopped)
• 9 cloves Garlic (Chopped)
• 4 oz Hatch green chile
• 2 tbsp Flavor Time Southern seasoning (Creator's seasoning blend)
• 3 oz Williams Original Chili seasoning
• 44 oz Diced tomatoes
• 44 oz Tomato sauce
• 3 cans Bush's Chili Magic beans (Campfire style; can size not stated)
• Zippy Zal sauce (A splash, added at the end)

Steps

1. 1

   In a 12-quart pot, brown the ground beef, then drain it.

2. 2

   Add the hot breakfast sausage to the pot; do not drain it. Cook while breaking it up.

3. 3

   Add the tomato paste. Break it up into the meat and cook until the sausage is fully cooked, allowing the paste to cook with it.

4. 4

   Add the chopped onion, jalapeños, garlic, and Hatch green chile.

5. 5

   Add the Southern seasoning and Original Chili seasoning. Stir everything together and cook for a few minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften; the creator says this took about five minutes.

6. 6

   Add the diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Stir until combined.

7. 7

   Cover and simmer on low for at least 1 hour. The creator simmered it for 1½ hours.

8. 8

   Add the three cans of Campfire Style Chili Magic beans and stir them in.

9. 9

   Replace the lid and simmer for an additional 30 minutes.

10. 10

    Add a splash of Zippy Zal sauce to finish.

Notes

The source does not state the can size of the Chili Magic beans or the amount of Zippy Zal; add the sauce as a splash. The transcript ends as the creator mentions the sauce, so no serving directions are available.
