I made a very modified version of this recipe that turned out very well. I didn't have any of the ingredients but I sauteed some cured beef with onion flakes and mixed it with 1 red cabbage and 1 can of sliced tomatoes. I baked the whole thing in a 9 X 13 pan for 45 min at 375 with a 1 cup of water. It was an experiment that turned out pretty well!

I used this recipe as a starting off point and the result was VERY good! I made a lot of modifications because I lacked many of the ingredients. I used 1 1/2 lbs ground turkey (instead of beef), 2 cans of stewed tomatoes with juices (instead of tomato juice and sauce), 2 cans of pinto beans (no kidneys), 1/4 cup dried onions (no fresh), and then double the amount of all the seasonings (except 1/2 the chili powder because I ran out). Plus, I added a jalapeno (I might add 2 next time) and a couple dollops of tomato paste to thicken it. This was actually the best chili I've ever had!

Absolutely delish. I used a lot of the recommendations plus ad-libbed a little: used crushed (salted) cashews instead of corn starch, made my own garam masala ("easy garam masala" from this site), pureed equal parts garlic and ginger in a blender to make garlic/ginger paste. Have made it several times now and loved it every time.
