SPICY CHILI



Spicy Chili image

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

TOUCHDOWN CHILI



Touchdown Chili image

This is a chili I've been making every year during football season since I was 10. Depending on the year, the heat of the chili changed. It all depends on the people I was serving. I totally made up this chili recipe as a kid, putting in it what I thought would taste good. Little has been added or changed throughout the years. It is requested by family and friends that I make this chili at least 4 times during the season. I've never had a name for it, but at one time, when it was its hottest ever, we termed it "Liquid Evil." Figured "Touchdown Chili" is good enough for now. As you'll be able to tell from the recipe, it makes about 8 quarts. A bit of a secret: I serve a piece or two of chocolate with the chili. Have never found anything better to sooth a scortched tongue.
