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.
