2-Alarm steak chili This chili recipe is somewhat spicy. Hence, the reasons why I call it my 2-alarm chili. It has chunks of cooked steak, ground beef, and pinto beans added to it. It equals about seven quarts of homemade chili when it's finished cooking. The beans alone make about twelve cups when cooked. So, you'll definitely need a huge pan for this recipe, because the chili will be prepared inside the same pan that the beans are cooked in. When making homemade chili, taste it as you are cooking it. The seasonings that I use may be too spicy for some, or not spicy enough for others.  Ingredients:  2 pounds of dried pinto beans, or 6 cans 15-ounce cans of store-bought pinto beans (chili beans also work nicely for this recipe) 2 pounds of steak, cubed 1 pound of lean ground beef 2 quarts of pasta sauce (I used homemade tomato sauce and seasoned it to taste.) 2 teaspoons of seasoning salt, plus I added extra to the beans and meat 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, to add to the meat...
