Tall Man's Chili

To celebrate my last week at my current job, I'm entering the department's apocalyptic chili contest. You're probably wondering how awesome my chili is, so look no further:

2 1/2 lbs. ground beef
10 oz. spaghetti
1 medium onion chopped
1 large green pepper chopped
Four 14.5 oz. cans of diced tomatoes w/green chilies
12 oz. tomato paste
15 oz. garbanzo beans
5-6 jalapeno peppers
2 serrano peppers
1 cup water
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 Tbs. chili powder
1/2 Tbs. crushed red pepper flakes
1 Tbs. sugar
1/2 Tsp. ground cumin
1/2 Tsp. dried oregano
1/4 Tsp. pepper
Liberal ground cayenne pepper

Brown the beef and set aside; saute the veggies and red pepper flakes; add beef and remaining ingredients and bring to a boil; simmer for three hours using cayenne pepper as a heat barometer.

  3. Tyler, I was hoping you would gain a sense of the awesomeness from the recipe, but I will throw some in the freezer for you. I just hope a freeze/thaw cycle does not take away from the bite.
