Now, celery, hmm....

I pick out the celery after I'm finished cooking the rice, I generally don't like boiled vegetables (corn being the only exception).

3# ground meat
1.5# yellow onions, julienned
2-3 large cans of kidney beans
2-4 large cans of diced tomato [edit: just looked at one of the leftover cans i had. these are the "family size" cans]
1# fresh jalapeno peppers, diced
1 head garlic, minced
2 cups fresh chopped cilantro
2/3 cup salt
1/3 cup ground cumin
1/3 cup chili powder
1 quart of the raunchiest burgundy you can find
1 midsize bottle of tabasco
1 habanero pepper, diced (optional)


1. sautee meat with chili powder and cumin.
2. clean peppers, and dice. WASH YOUR HANDS VERY THOROUGHLY AFTERWARDS, OR YOU WILL REGRET IT!
3. julienne onions to preference, and lightly sauttee.
4. combine all ingredients, incorporating thoroughly in a large (2-3 gallon) stock pot and simmer for 6-10 hours.

That's probably why he asked for how much I have,

I have 250g of ground meat, just half a pound.

But I do welcome all recipes posted on my recipes threads

eat it, *****

When I feel lazy and hungry, wanting to eat something with little effort involved and have minced meat at home I do this.

Add meat to warm frying pan, wait until brown.
Add a can of tomatoes, a can of baked beans and a can of kidney beans. Put alot of spices in it, like chili and whatever you have at hand. Let it simmer for maybe half an hour, the more you let it rest the better it will taste. Bon "hangover" appetite.

[Ecthy]

Half an hour? I usually do stuff like that for 15 minutes at max, just because I'm too hungry to wait longer

Thanks for your hints guys, I went for meatballs and they were nice

You're a guy to share chili recipes and have a beer with. In contrast to other people you age

Ok, you really have to be open minded on thisun, but have I ever steered you wrong?

Use loinburgers meatball recipe except if you can afford it use olive oil. Then, mix ketchup and grape jelly 50/50, heat and coat the meatballs. (After pouring off the oil)

Serve as apetizer.
