Alex's 4 Star German Tex-Mex Chili A Vegetarian Recipe

Some call it "Chilli," some call it "Chili" and some "Chile." Anyway, you have an idea of what it is. This Chili combines the best of old worlds and new. Taking a little from German influence and combining with Tex-Mex ingredients. It should serve between four and six. Oh, one more thing, it can be a little spicy. NOTE Feel fre to substitute/add your favorite ingridients, but if you substitute actual tortured dead animal flesh type sausage, it could really f*ck up the recipe or worse, your health. 2 tsp Paprika 2 tsp Cumin 3 Bay Leaves 1 tsp Chilli Powder 1 tsp Oregano 1/2 pd Gimme Lean Imitation Sausage 2 16 oz. cans of beans 1 14.5 oz can of tomatoes 1 14.5 oz can of water :-) 3 cloves garlic 1 onion 4 hot peppers Chop onion and garlic Put healthy amount of olive oil in large pot, heat to medium Put onions and garlic in pot, cook in oil until tender (not brown) Add paprika, cumin, chilli powder and oregano.
