      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1 pk pinto beans
      2 lb chili meat or
      4 lb lean beef sirloin,chopped
      1    in 1/2 inch cubes
      1 lb low-fat turkey sausage
      1 c  onions,chopped
      1 T  garlic powder
      1 T  red cayenne pepper
      2 cn tomato sauce
      3 T  new mexico (or other hot)
      1    chili powder
      1 t  oregano,Dried
      2 T  cumin,Ground
      1 T  vegetable oil
      1 t  louisiana (or tobasco) hot
      1    sauce
      1 cn jalapenos,chopped
    1/2 T  salt

Wash beans in colander and soak overnight. Wash again next day, and
place in large chili pot. Cover with water about 1/2 to 3/4 inch over
beans; simmer, covered, for about 2-1/2 hours or until done.

If substituting beans with the lean beef sirloin, brown the meat 1
pound at a time, preferably in a non-stick skillet without any oil.
Place the meat in large chili pot. You will also need 1 more 12 ounce
can of tomato sauce and 1 to 2 10 ounce cans of fat-skimmed beef
stock. You will add the extra can of tomato sauce and the can of beef
stock in the next paragraph of directions.

Brown meat and place in large saucepan. Add all of the other
ingredients and spices. Mix well. Simmer, covered, for 1 hour. When
beans are done, add contents of saucepan to chili pot and simmer for
30 to 45 minutes. Makes 15 to 20 servings, 225 calories each (205
with out the oil). Salt and pepper to taste.

Soak the beans overnight, then simmer until tender (1 to 2 hours) I
tend to add some seaweed while cooking (dump in a bowl so you can use
the bean pot for frying) roast the cumin in a frying pan (optional,
but valuable) I used about 2 to 3 tsp chop onions and garlic, saute
in oil chop peppers, saute with onion & garlic add chopped tomatoes,
cook a until soft Add the beans, and some bean liquid Add the spices
