Pat's Spicy-Hot Winter Chili No. 6

• 1 12 lbs ground chuck
• 12 ounces spicy hot V8, Hot-'N'-Spicy
• 4 ounces chunky salsa, mild. I use Save-A-Lot store brand, Senora Verde
• 2 hot banana peppers, canned, deseeded and chopped
• 2 medium onions, chopped
• 12 large green bell pepper, deseeded and chopped
• 12 ounces salsa verde, medium. I use Chi-Chi's brand
• 15 ounces chicken broth, canned
• 2 large chicken bouillon cubes, Maggi cubes, substitute 3 regular cubes
• 2 cups water, hot
• 2 cups tomato sauce
• 4 ounces dark red kidney beans, canned, rinsed
• 32 ounces chili beans, in sauce. I use Hanover brand (canned)
• 12 large fresh tomato, chopped
• 4 ounces refried beans, canned
• 1 tablespoon sorghum molasses (substitute, honey and brown sugar)
• 1 12 tablespoons dried onion flakes
• 12 teaspoon chili powder, chipotle-type or 14 teaspoon liquid smoke
• 2 tablespoons chili powder, I use McCormick's brand
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 12 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 12 teaspoon ground allspice

1. Blend all ingredients in a large pot.
2. Don't brown and/or drain the burger ahead of time.
3. I like to dissolve the bouillon cubes in the hot water before adding them to the chili.
4. Note: Adding the sorghum early will cause scorching!
5. Bring the chili to a boil and then reduce heat and allow it to simmer (slow boil), covered, for 90 minutes.
6. Stir frequently.
7. After 90 minutes, add the chili beans with their sauce and continue the slow boil, covered.
8. After 25 more minutes, add the sorghum and allow the chili to simmer for 5 more minutes.
9. Serve with oyster crackers on the side and shredded sharp cheddar cheese if desired.
