I tweaked this puppy so much, but it's still a great chili recipe. For the meat I used ground chuck, so there would be less fat; I left out the beans, and in place of the jalepenos, I used two Scotch Bonnets, three Ghost Peppers and one Trinidad Scorpion. We're entering it into a contest for Chili-Heads, but I think even a non-chili-head would like it.
