- Melt butter in large stockpot over medium-low heat; add tomatoes, bell peppers, garlic, and green onions. Cook and stir frequently until tomatoes have nearly liquefied, 30 minutes to 1 hour.

- Stir crab meat and canned tomatoes with liquid into kidney bean mixture, breaking up tomatoes in thirds with a wooden spoon. Season with salt and pepper; add brown sugar if chili tastes too salty.

Steps:
- 1. Dry fish. Spray lightly with olive oil spray. Coat fish generously with 1/2 pkg. of chili seasoning. Bake in the oven @ 350 for 30 min.
- 2. While the fish is cooking, dice the peppers and onion. Put all other ingredients into a pot and cook on med. heat. When the fish is done, remove from the oven and dice into bite size pieces and add to the other ingredients. Let cook another 45 min. on low heat.

Tips:
- Use a variety of dried chiles to create a complex and flavorful chili. Ancho, guajillo, and pasilla chiles are all good choices.
- Toast the dried chiles before using to enhance their flavor. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat or in a toaster oven.
- Soak the dried chiles in hot water for at least 30 minutes before adding them to the chili. This will help to soften them and extract their flavor.
- Use a combination of fresh and canned tomatoes to create a rich and flavorful chili. Fresh tomatoes will add a bright acidity, while canned tomatoes will add a deep, concentrated flavor.
- Add a variety of spices to the chili to taste. Cumin, oregano, and chili powder are all good choices.
- Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the chili with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, and chopped cilantro.
