Start off with onion and garlic in oil, then brown either one of those 99 cent rolls of grount turkey, or get some good ground turkey, or use ground beef. Go cheap, you can't really taste the meat anyway.
I use a crock pot, but whatever it is has to be a little big. I now pour in a large can of tomato sauce (not the family size, but the 29 oz.), 1-2 14 oz. cans of petit diced tomatoes ( I don't like large tomato chunks; if you do, use any size you want), 5 cans of different kinds of beans, usually black, kidney, pinto, white (cannelini) and those little white ones, or whatever you want.
For the flavoring, I throw in the chili powder, 1-2 tablespoons, worcestershire, 1-2 tablespoons, tablespoon hot mustard sometimes if I have any, cup of red wine, over a half bottle (I love the stuff) of La Costena hot sauce (it's the least hot but has the best taste, and the bottles are small), a good amount of Cholula or whatever hot stuff you got for heat, a little cayenne for heat, and then it's up to you on the herbs and spices, salt and pepper and all that, just do it to taste. This will come together real nice in 1-2 hours, but could be eaten right away as long as it's hot. I'm allergic to peppers, hence their omission, but add 'em if you're 'that way'.
