do not drain the beef, 96% beef has almost no fat ...

taste early and often
no really eating out of the pot until you explode

Tasting notes:
probably needs more salt for next time, esp using tomatoes without salt .. :P
this produced a mild, almost medium spice chili.  probably want to increase all the peppers next time
50% higher on all spices??
