If I fail to add 2 teaspoons of a secret ingredient -- or, if I don't keep it a secret -- will it have an adverse effect on the chili?

It will be OK but with 2 teaspoons of dried chili de arbol powdered it will be better... Ops... I revealed the secret ingredient...

Oh yes... But where is the sense of accomplishment of cooking something unique?

Meat is murder. Tasty, tasty murder.

And that looks so good. I dun really like bacon, but I am so going to need to make my own chili one day.

Ketchup.... I'll leave out that part.

Secret Ingredient = Cheap Whiskey.

Meat is murder, but fish is justifiable homicide.

By the way: I would also use a veggie substitute, and most people wouldn't know the difference.
