-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 package Pinto beans
2 pounds Chili meat OR
4 pounds Lean beef sirloin -- chopped
In 1/2 inch cubes
1 pound Low-fat turkey sausage
1 cup Onions -- chopped
1 tablespoon Garlic powder
1 tablespoon Red cayenne pepper
2 cans Tomato sauce
3 tablespoons New Mexico (or other hot)
Chili powder
1 teaspoon Dried oregano
2 tablespoons Ground cumin
1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
1 teaspoon Louisiana (or Tobasco) Hot
Sauce
1 can Jalapenos -- chopped

Wash beans in colander and soak overnight. Wash again next day, and place in
large chili pot. Cover with water about 1/2 to 3/4 inch over beans; simmer,
covered, for about 2-1/2 hours or until done. If substituting beans with the
lean beef sirloin, brown the meat 1 pound at a time, preferably in a non-stick
skillet without any oil. Place the meat in large chili pot. You will also need
1 more 12 ounce can of tomato sauce and 1 to 2 10 ounce cans of fat-skimmed
beef stock. You will add the extra can of tomato sauce and the can of beef
stock in the next paragraph of directions. Brown meat and place in large
saucepan.
Add all of the other ingredients and spices. Mix well.
Simmer, covered, for 1 hour. When beans are done, add contents of saucepan to
chili pot and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. Makes 15 to 20 servings, 225
calories each (205 with out the oil). Salt and pepper to taste.
