Guys.....honestly. Don't run away.....these are just the ingredients.....the majority of the heat comes from the spices and seasonings.....I don't list how much of each goes into the chili, because each lot is different in strength.....so....when you start to add them, start with a little bit....a tablespoon or so of the powders, and 2 or 3 splashes of the liquids.....after it's been cooking a half hour or so, taste it.....see what it needs.....remember: you can always add more, but, if you bugger it up by adding too much, you can't take it out....go easy and take your time.
