INGREDIENTS:

1 lg. can whole tomatoes
1 lg. can crushed tomatoes
1 lg. can tomato sauce
2 lg. cans dark kidney beans drained and rinsed
1 pound ground turkey , beef or sausage what ever you prefer
8 cloves garlic chopped
1 tbs. garlic powder to taste
2 to 3 tbs chili powder to taste
black pepper to taste 2 tsp.
1 tsp crushed red pepper
1 tsp. hot sauce
2 large onions chopped
1 lg. red pepper chopped
1 lg. green pepper chopped
3 white potatoes diced small
3 bay leaves
salt to taste
2 tbs. cooking oil


Take 1 large cooking pot pour in oil heat. Throw in garlic sauté for 1 min. on high heat stirring occasionally so it won't burn. Lower heat to medium , add onion and peppers, let cook for about two minutes then add ground meat. Cook till meat is brown, add all spices then add rest of ingredients let simmer on low heat for at least an hour and a half. The longer it simmers, the better it will taste. I usually put more or less of the spices in to taste. If you want you can add 1/2 cup cooking wine or flat beer. Gives it a Kick! Enjoy!
