I had no idea that just a little tiny bit of pepper would make it so hot  . It was so hot that just touching it to our lips was painful  . No one could eat it and we like hot food, so in the garbage disposal it went  .
I would only add one or two of them shredded  , and see how it works out for you  . Then if you want more "heat" you can add more after it is already cooked  . I only use red hot chillie pepper powder in mine now. One teaspoon is enough to put just a bite into the mix. Anything more than that makes it almost uneatable. I also add a couple tablespoons of sugar to sweeten up the taste just a tad. The rest is a family trade secret. Good luck with your chillie treat. |
These are hotter than the jallopinio peppers thats for sure . I was thinking one or two for the whole pot as well. I can chop them up small . It is going to cook all day long in my crock pot
. I like the idea of adding some sugar .
