Christmas Day Chili Recipe
I finally found my recipe for Christmas Chili and cooked about 2 gallons of it for Christmas week. The Christmas Chili is perfect because it beats ham on Christmas day and if done right; its Red and Green for the Christmas theme. The recipe cooks about 5 quarts of Chili. It is best to season to taste with the Habanero hot sauce on your own portion, not everyone likes to melt down on Christmas day.
~-~ Ingredients ~-~
- 2 Pounds of Ground Meat
- 1 Cup of Anaheim Chili Peppers or Serrano Peppers
