SPICY CHILI
This spicy chili recipe is the culmination of several years' worth of experimenting to get just the right flavor. For those who like their chili very hot, the secret is to add more jalapenos. The most I ever used in a recipe was five...was it spicy! -Liesha Hoek, Somerset, New Jersey

BASIC SPICY CHILI
This is a basic chili recipe, but my favorite. Since I am a vegetarian, I omit the beef and add more beans for a great meatless chili. I also add more hot sauce for extra kick. This chili is great served with sour cream and/or cheese.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, saute beef and onions together until beef is browned.
- Drain beef and add to a large soup pot (this step can be skipped if you wish to brown the beef in the soup pot).
- Add tomato juice and simmer over medium heat.
- Add tomatoes (with their juice), crushing between fingers to break apart.
- Add kidney beans, chili powder (the entire 4 tablespoons may be a bit much for some people, so start out small and add to taste), and optional hot sauce.
- After mixture comes to a simmer, add baking soda (the baking soda will help cut down the acidity of the tomatoes).
- Simmer for about 20-30 minutes, adding water if necessary to thin out the chili.
- Taste for seasoning.

SPICY BEEF CHILI
If you like really spicy beef chili, this is a quick and simple recipe to try. I don't include measurements for some of the spices as they should be to taste (the more, the better for me). I taste the chili throughout the simmering process and add more spice as I go.
