1 can of Kidney beans: drained
Hot sauce, Onion powder, Garlic powder, chili powder and cumin to taste (There is no such thing as too much).

4-5 days in advance make the marinade - substituting hot sauce for the vinegar - and freeze the meat in the mix.

The night (or that morning) before cook off the meat, sauté the peppers and onion in olive oil till the onions are tender.  

Combine the meat, peppers and onions; add in the tomatoes and seasonings.  

Stir and add the Chili sauce and ¼ the Bloody Mary mix and the Wasabi.

An hour before serving warm up the chili adding more Mr. & Mrs. T’s if needed and the beans.  

Heat at least one hour over low heat stirring every five minutes.
