I came up with this recipe by just messing around trying to find a good recipe for chili, and so far every time I make it people line up for a bowl…hope you like it! I usually let mine cook for minimum of 10-12 hours, but i feel the longer it cooks, the more the it brings out all the flavor. This is as mild tasting chili or as hot as you want to make it. I really don’t like it too hot so I find my chili to be spicy enough for chili but not so bad that I start sweating.
