      Sure man.

      3lb ground beef

      1lb part italian or hot sausage(whatever you feel like....I went Italian this go)

      3 can diced tomatos...4 doesn't hurt anything

      1 small can of tomatos and chilis to add some zing...Rotel or any other brand

      2 large onions chopped

      2 cans kidney beans if I feel like beans

      That is the best I can tell you as far as measured ingredients. The rest sort of depends on feel and taste....

      Chili powder....say 5-6 tablespoons to start

      Half that amount of cumin....gives chili flavor without heat

      Salt..whatever tastes good to you

      Maybe 15 grinds of black pepper

      garlic powder....not salt...not a lot...a few dashes from the shaker.

      I guess that is it...

      Oh....my secret ingredient...vinegar...plain white vinegar...I have no idea how much it is, but it is added a little at a time...just keep taste testing...too much will screw it up...too little and it doesn't give it that ohhh and ahhh factor. maybe 4-5 tablespoons worth....just don't know

      Brown the meat, drain the grease...add all the other stuff and enough water to cover the meat and bring to boil...then simmer a few hours.

      I always make mine the day before, let cool, the refirgerate. It allows you to pikc off that last layer of grease that cooks out of the meat. The sausage releases a lot of grease....if you don't skim, it can be a little fatty IMO(if you knew me, you would know I am not against grease...lived in the south most of my life)

      Oh....if you add beans, I do it near the end of the simmer process as I don't like to get them all broken up due to stirring once in a while....but it doesn't really matter.

      Also...the vinegar...it is best to add it later in the simmer process...don't know why, but it seems to give you a better read.

      Just play with the chili powder level to get what you want...my measurements were a start.

      You can also use one of those chili packs...McCormack or whatever as a starting point on the chili powder

      If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

            Try using Andouille sausage, not sure about that spelling but it has alot of flavor and a really good kick
