Crumble and brown ground beef in pot. Add chili pepper, black pepper and Texas Pete hot sauce when ground beef begins to brown (mix throughly). Add onions and green pepper; cook until nearly tender (give an occasional stir). Add all other ingredients and bring to a low boil. Stir occasionally and run a taste test (add salt or other ingredients if your taste buds tell you to) Cover and simmer at low heat for about 2 hours. Slowly sip 1 glass of red wine while making this chili and as you run your taste test, exclaim to no one in particular "oooooh dat good!"

Variation: Add 1/3 tsp. cayenne pepper and 1/3 tsp. paprika (and anything else that you can dream up)
