I did not get a taste of that chilli. The cook who was guilty of it was on
Michael's table. I had one on mine that seemed loaded with BBQ sauce and
another that had been infused with molasses.

At the first echo picnic I attended (1998) at Pat Stockett's in Hayneville, AL
I made a big old pot of red. Don Houston was there with his new wife (Maya) -
and borrowed my stove, tent, etc. to make a pot of his chilli. Besides melting
my plastic table cover - what he made was a nicely spicy spaghetti sauce
(according to those who ate some). But, his wife was cute and the varenyky she
brought were quite magnificent.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Alabama Picnic Chilli
 Categories: Chilli, Stews, Beef, Chilies
      Yield: 10 servings

      5 lb Coarse-ground beef
      1 lg Onion; diced fairly fine
    1/2 c  Green bell pepper; diced
      2 tb Beef base
      1 tb Cocoa (Nestle or Hershey)
      5 ts Powdered garlic granules
      1 tb Ground cumin
     48 oz Can tomato juice
      5 tb Plus 3 ts chilli spice *
    1/2 ts Fresh black pepper

  * Gebhardt's, Mexene or Chilli Man will work pretty well.

  Combine the beef base, tomato juice, chopped veggies, cocoa
  and 4 teaspoons of powdered garlic in a dutch oven over a low
  (simmer) flame.

  Divide the hamburger into three more-or-less equal batches
  and brown it in a separate skillet. Add 1 teaspoon per batch
  of chilli spice. When browned and crumbled drain excess fat
  and add to dutch oven. Repeat until all ground beef is in
  the chilli pot. Add the black pepper to the chilli pot.

  Stir in 1 tablespoon per pound of meat of the chilli powder
  (5 Tb for this batch). Cover pot and let simmer, stirring
  once in a while. When the onions and peppers are cooked
  (about 1 1/2 hr) taste the pot.

  You will probably find that you'll need to add the remaining
  tablespoon of garlic powder and the teaspoon of ground
  cumin. You may also want to add an additional tablespoon of
  chilli powder at this time. Trust me on the garlic and
  cumin. It adds the final kick. Neysa tasted before and after
  and could not believe how much difference it made. Simmer
  for an additional 10 to 15 minutes and serve.

  For those desiring a hotter product add cayenne until your
  lips turn numb and your sinuses drain if you like. I made
  this batch extra-mild in deference to picnic attendees who
  don't handle heat real well. Sadly, Maya Houston thought it
  was still too hot after she tasted a spoonful.

  Here is one of mine that is a good starting point for
  experimenting. I use my own chilli mix... but Gebhardt's,
  Mexene or Chilli Man will work pretty well. Ray's Chilli
  owner says he is bringing out a line of chilli mix as soon
  as he finds a spice company to mix and package to his
  recipe. Apparently it has different requirements from using
  spices to can chilli.

  As noted - this recipe starts extra mild as a base line in
  deference to the non chile heads for whom I made it. Add
  heat or chipotles to suit yourself. Black or pinto beans
  will work - add them AFTER the chilli is cooked.
