Tablespoons chili powder

1

teaspoon pepper, lull         

 

1

32 ounce spicy hot V-S juice

16 ounce cans tomato sauce       

 

3

2 ounce cans tomato paste       

 

1

16 ounce bottle hot sauce

1 ounce shot Jim Beam        

 

Brown meats with one handful each of pepper, mushrooms and onion. Add half the spices to the meat while browning. Mix beer, Jim Beam, V-8 juice, tomato sauce, tomato paste, hot sauce and remaining vegetables and spices. Add browned meats and cook over high heat for 1 hour and 15 minutes, then gradually turn heat down to low and let simmer for the remaining time. Keep covered for the first hour so it doesn’t become too thick. The seasoning measurements above are approximate, as the cooks season by sight, smell, and taste.
