Marc's homemade chili

Carmelize a large onion and 3/4 of a bell pepper (any color of pepper you like) with some hot sauce.

Meanwhile, take a LARGE pot, add 1 1/2 cans of tomato sauce, and 1 can each of diced tomatoes, mixed beans, chic peas, and red kidney beans. Start heating. Add a teaspoon of savoury, a teaspoon of chili powder, and a teaspoon of whole cumin. Oregano is optional.

Add onion/peppers to pot. Re-using your frying pan, cook some hamburger meat (with a bit of water in it, keeps it from getting too hard) with the remainder of the pepper. add chili powder and a teaspoon of whole cumin.
As water is mostly evaporated, add a bit of hot sauce, and the remaining half can of tomato sauce. Sprinkle with black pepper. Simmer for around two minutes, then transfer this to the pot as well.

Cover the pot, and simmer at a low heat, stirring now and then, for around an hour. Keep in mind, this will get spicier as it cooks the cumin.

Makes around 12-15 good sized bowls of chili.
