Makes about 8 quarts. I buy disposable tupperware bowls and freeze them so I can reheat them a bowl at a time.

The peppers as-written make this chili pretty hot, but you can scale the habanero and jalepenos as desired for spiciness. You can also adjust spiciness by adding or leaving out pepper seeds.

You can start the meat and liquids while prepping the peppers and onions to speed up the total prep. of this recipe. Careful to stir frequently and monitor heat once you add tomato sauce & paste until you take it off the stove. The ingredients have a tendency to burn on the bottom during this long cooking cycle.

Note for next time: leafy spices should probably be added toward the end. not sure about oregano, but basil loses it's flavor and aroma if cooked for more than a few minutes.
