180 g tomato paste
1 kg light red kidney beans -- not drained (3 stand
30 ml brown sugar
50 ml white sugar
60 ml chili powder
10 ml MSG (monosodium glutamate)
10 ml crushed red (cayenne) pepper

5 ml salt
50 ml bacon grease

1. In a large microwave container, brown meat, onions, green pepper, and
garlic for 15 minutes on full power. Drain off and reserve a cup or two of
liquid. Break up any remaining large chunks of meat.
2. Add remaining ingredients except tomato paste and cook on full power
for 30 minutes covered. Stir and taste.
3. Cook for 1 hour at 70% power, uncovered. Stir and taste at half hour
intervals. Add water as necessary.
4. Add tomato paste and reserved meat liquid. Cook 30 minutes at 60%
power, uncovered. Stir and taste. The chili is done and can be served
directly or decanted into a crock pot to simmer.
5. Serve with shredded cheddar cheese, tabasco sauce, diced onions, hot
chili oil, red pepper flakes, and hot dogs with rolls. Your guests can
microwave their own hot dogs and top them with chili and cheese!!!
Author's Notes: Microwaves and chili make a superb match, especially
for lazy chili lovers like me. This version is for a mixed crowd. True
chili fiends should see the notes at the end.
For true CHERNOBYL-Class 20 megaton SS-19 chili, double the pepper,
chili powder and MSG and add 30 minutes to the cooking in step 3. Serve
with Pepski. People who are worried about MSG, bacon grease or radiation
should not be eating chili in the first place. Yes, it will make an
incredible mess in your microwave oven. The most likely things you will
need to add at the testing points are salt, sugar, and maybe garlic
powder. The chili will thicken up in the microwave so be sure to add
enough water to keep it soupy until the last phase.
Difficulty : easy. Precision : approximate measurement OK.
