Simply follow the directions on the 2 Alarm Chili Kit package, but beware of the red pepper unless you like chili very, very spicy. I typically leave out the red pepper altogether. Even without it, it still has a little heat from the chili powder. (so you may omit some chili powder as well if you don't want any kick) I add more tomato sauce than the directions call for, as well as kidney beans and stewed tomatoes, after the spices are added. I also add a little water at a time so I can get the consistency I like. (not too thick, not too thin) I simmer for at least an hour before serving. (the longer, the better) When serving, add shredded cheese and onions. Sour cream would also be lovely.
