One day I was making an old standard chili and started adding different ingredients, and it turned out to be the best chili I had ever made! Fortunately, I took the time to write out the ingredients.
Ingredients

1 1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green peppers
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 32 ounce can tomatoes, cut up
1 32 ounce can dark red kidney beans, drained
1 16 ounce can tomato sauce
1 4 ounce can tomato paste
1/4 cup salsa
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1. Place Group I ingredients in a large pot and cook over medium heat until meat is browned. Drain off fat.
