Just in time for the big game! Not sure what to bring to this annual grub-fest? Short on time? Here is my delicious Habañero Jalapeño Chili, ready in about an hour.

1 chopped onion
1 chopped bell pepper
2 diced tomatoes
1lb mushrooms chopped
minced garlic
Habañero pepper
Jalapeño pepper

cumin powder
garlic powder
6oz tomato paste
32oz vegetable broth
