NOTE Hell Fire Chili , Wild Or Mild If you want a milder not so hot chili remove the seeds from your jalapenos when you cut them up. But use care when removing the seeds. Don't put your hands near your face until you wash them well with soap and water. Beer Or No Beer If for some reason you do not want to use the beer in this recipe for one reason or another use apple juice instead. You will find that the flavor is almost the same. Captain Wafers or Saltines if your local supermarket sells captain wafers purchase them to go with your Hell Fire Chili. They really do improve the flavor of your chili. Garnish Your Chili You will want to garnish your hell fire chili with shredded cheddar cheese , sour creme and fine diced green onions. Put your garnishes in small bowls on the table and allow your guests to add their own garnishes to their servings of hell fire chili.
