The three alarms are Jalapeno, hot chilli powder and hot sausage ingredients that make this so good. It is hard to beat a warm/hot chili with cheese and sour cream and crackers.
Place a heavy skillet on a moderate heat and brown the meat.
1 lb pork sausage
Drain the meat and combine it in the slow cooker with the remaining ingredients except for the garnishes.
15 oz chopped tomatoes, 6 oz tomato paste, 1 cup tomato juice, 2 stalks celery, 4 cloves garlic, 15 oz red kidney beans, 1 large onion, 1 medium green bell pepper, 2 large jalapeño peppers, 4 tsp chili powder, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1 pinch Salt, 1 pinch ground pepper
Cook covered on low heat for 8 to 10 hours, or on high heat for 4 to 5 hours.
Serve with garnishes on the side for your guests to help themselves.
Notes
Don't forget to use sour cream, scallions (spring onions) and grated cheddar cheese as garnishes.
