• 1 to 1 1/2 lb. ground sausage
• 1 1/2 Cups diced onion
• 1 large head garlic, minced
• 3 Tblsp. dried oregano, crushed
• 3 Tblsp. crushed red pepper flakes
• 3 to 3 1/2 Tblsp. cinnamon
• 2 Tblsp. Chili powder
• 2 Tblsp. sugar (white or brown)
• 1 (40 0z.) can Brooks Mild Chili Beans In Sauce
• 2 (15 1/2 oz.) cans Brooks Hot Chili Beans In Sauce
• 3 (10 oz.) cans Rotel Chili Fix-Ins (black label)
• 2 (15 oz.) can Hunts Seasoned Diced Tomatoes For Chili
• 2 (14.5 oz.) cans Red Gold Diced Tomatoes Chili Ready With Onions
• 1 (29 oz.) can Hunts Tomato Sauce
• 2 (6 oz.) cans Hunts Tomato Paste
• 6 Tblsp. fresh choppped oregano

1. In very large stock pot (or the like) brown and crush up the hamburger, sausage, onion and garlic over med. to med.-hiogh heat.
2. Add the dried oregano, pepper flakes, cinnamon, chili powder and sugar. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes.
3. Add the following with all the sauces in the cans: All the beans, All the tomato mixes, the tomato sauce and the tomato paste. Stir and combine well.
4. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to med.-low. Let simmer at least an hour - the more it simmers the better! If you simmer a while, you may need to add more liquid - see above in the introduction.
5. About 5 minutes before serving, stir in the chopped fresh oregano.
6. Be sure to pass bowls of shredded cheddar cheese, hot sauce, sour cream, crackers, green onions, black olives, diced white or yellow or red onions, chopped tomatoes, salsa, and/or guacamole, or whatever else your family likes! Crusty bread is a good way to "clean" the bowl after the chili is all gone.
7. Don't forget the milk to soothe those taste buds!
