Discription:This is by far the best chili I have ever had. This recipe for chili is great for football season and almost everyone is sure to enjoy it. As you can see from the ingredients, this chili can be a little expensive and time consuming but I can assure you, it’s worth it! I have tried a lot of different chili recipes that seemed a lot easier but none of them were as good as this. The ingredients blend perfectly for a spicy and delicious chili. This chili is also great re-heated if you want to make it ahead of time and serve it the next day. It makes quite a bit and will serve about 12 people. Other than the prep work, the stove does the rest. The longer you let it simmer, the better it will taste. If you are looking for a good chili recipe, make a batch of this for game day. Serve with corn chips and shredded cheddar cheese. Enjoy.
