Chili - Day 1

When I make chili it's a three day process.

Day 1:

Soak 4 cups of dry beans for at least 12 hours. This time I used Northern, Black-eyed Peas, Pinto, and Red Kidney Beans. Use what you have or what you like best.

The rest of the things you'll need for my chili are:
4 - 14.5 oz cans of tomatoes (I used a variety of types just because it's what I had on hand)
2 cups diced carrots
1 cup diced red onion
3 jalapeno peppers, diced (I keep the seeds and everything, mostly becasue I like spicy chili)
1 anaheim pepper, diced
4 garlic cloves
1 tbsp EVOO
various spices to taste - I used basil, thyme, cumin, paprika, some chipotle sauce. No measuring needed, just use what you like.

Stay turned...tomorrow, chili day 2!
