   1      package       Pinto beans
   2      pounds        Chili meat -OR-
   4      pounds        Lean beef sirloin -- chopped
                        - in 1/2" 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 hot sauce, or
                        - Tabasco
   1      can           Jalapenos -- chopped
     1/2  tablespoon    Salt

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.

Salt and pepper to taste.
