Anyhoo, how 'bout some Chili?
First, put about a quarter-sized shot of olive oil in a skillet, and add any spices you will want, cumin, cayenne, pepper-medley (peppercorns), etc. Heating up herbs and spices will make them taste stronger. Transfer to a pot.
Next, add some decent ground meat and brown in the skillet (If you want yr chili to go a bit further you can add some oats while the meat cooks), then bank the meat so that the grease runs down to the other end of the skillet (I know, skillets are round, bear with me ;)
Once the grease has collected down there, transfer the meat to the pot and throw away the grease (Don't put it in the sink, it'll clog up the drain. Let it cool, then put it in the trash). Set aside.
Cut up whatever veggies ya like, (i.e 2 Roma tomatoes, 1 Bell pepper, 2 Jalapeno peppers, cilantro,etc.) and add them to the pot. Then mix in 1 can of tomato paste, and reheat, and if ya like 'Yankee'-style chili (I do) throw in a can of yr favorite beans.
Towards the end of cooking I like to add a little lime juice, and dice up 1 Scotch Bonnet pepper, seeds an' all (you will want to wear gloves while you handle it) for it.
You can even add a little honey to it, it melds nicely and cuts some of the heat from the Scotch Bonnet.
What I love about chili is the fact that you can add anything to it, and it always tastes great. The Bachelor's life-saver!
