Or, really, a recipe for sausage and peppers used timmy-style into taco beef.


    1 lb ground beef
    1 lb ground turkey
    Olive oil of some kind
    1 yellow bell pepper, minced
    1 red bell pepper, minced
    1 jalapeno pepper, minced
    2 habenero peppers, minced
    8-10 garlic cloves, minced
    1 large sweet or yellow onion, cut as small as you can without crying too hard
    1 small (15 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes
    2 tsp of dried oregano
    1 tsp cumin <br.1 2="" cup="" marsala="" wine="" <br="">1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
    1 can of black beans
    Salt to taste

This is essentially the recipe I used for sausage the other week, plus cumin. Whether it was the original recipe and the sausage which created such a great base, or whether it's just this shit itself, we'll find out.

Mince up all those peppers, remember not to touch your eyes or your genitals for the rest of the night. Mince up the onion, try not to cry. Mince garlic until bored, I literally lost count. Last time was nearly one and a half heads of garlic. This was.. 3/4's of a head? Depends on the size of the head and the cloves, ya know.

Toss that shit in the largest pot you have. Better be a giant chili pot, these proportions make a LOT of food. 1 tablespoon of oil? I needed a little more, as I accidentally bought a GIANT onion. In a separate pan, individually brown the beef, then the turkey (in succession). Strain the fat and toss in the master pot. Once onions have "softened", as the original recipe says, toss in tomatoes, marsala wine, oregano, black beans, and an iota of salt. I added cumin, because dude this is meant for tacos.

I may add a little bit of flour for thickening. Used to do that for my "chili".

Total prep and cook time: 2 hours. Result: 3/5

Still tastes good. But it's obvious what made the sausage taste good was ... the sausage. I have to do this again with just sausage to get that base that tasted so good.

Mmm. Bay leaf adds flavor. Add tikka masala to it for a whole other flavor. I make a soup base with chicken stock and then add a heaping spoon of sharwoods tikka masala or butter chicken sauce. I also add sriracha to kick things a notch.
