That would be a record.

I have NEVER seen that many ingredients in any ONE dish!

Too much work. You make it. Tell me what time to show up.

I cheat with a a simple shortcut receipe. Try V-8 tomato juice with the beans, meat, and sauteed onions, additional seasonings as desired.

I'm not one for anything hotter than mild, and I prefer that to be mild salsa to keep down my inhalation of the chips to a minimum. I've found it to be a nice "diet" trick. Hot enough to enjoy a few, but too hot to scarf down the whole bag of chips.

I like it hot enough to make my temples itch!
