Sweet and Spicy Chili

Serves 3 to 4 People

Ingredients

2 Diced Onions
2 Bell Peppers Diced (You can choose the color)
1/2 Pound ground beef (the quality of the meat is your choice)
3 Tb Tomato Paste
3.5 Tb Cumin
2 Tb Tobasco
2 Tb Sugar 
1 Diced, Grilled Green Chili Pepper
2 Dried Red Chilis
150 g can Kidney Beans
Dash Cinnemon
Salt to Taste
Crushed Black Pepper to Taste
Water

Directions

In a medium sized pot, sautee the the onions and bell pepper.  You want to cook them until they are translucent. Take the pot off of heat if the vegetables start to over cook.

In a skillet, cook the ground meat.  This should be done at the same time that the vegetables are cooking.  When the meat is completely brown, add it to the pot with the cooked peppers and onion.

Allow the meat and vegetables and meat to simmer together on low for a minute or two and then add the tomato paste and enough water that the vegetables are are about 1 to 2 inches submerged. 

Make sure that the tomato paste is dissolved and then add cumin, tobasco, sugar, chilies, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.

Allow the ingredients to mingle on medium low heat.  Stir occasionally to make sure things are not sticking to the bottom.  The liquid will evaporate off during this time. You have a good consistency when the liquid coats the back of a spoon. 

Lastly, before serving, stir in the beans.
