A scale of 1 to 5 is not enough for good spicy food.
You should see my Chili recipe if you like good, and spicy food. I posted it before, but it's buried a ways back. It's not perfected, as I'd rather use fresh grown peppers of my choice, rather than just whatever I can find around.
My Inferno chili (No Holds Barred Trial Edition) This is for a large batch, I leave math up to others that want it cut in half, or more. If any takers exist.
About a pound of ground chuck, with a half a pound of ground sirloin. (Mix with plenty of sriracha seasoning, and about half a bottle of green Tabasco, or other green sauce. Let sit for a few hours in a large plastic bag, in the fridge.)
