This past weekend my brother came to visit and made his chili for us one night. It was the best chili I think I have EVER had. Knowing that Mom and I don't like spicy much, and our young kids would be eating it, he made it without the cayenne and less chili powder than he usually makes it with, but it was so good. It was a good, thick, hearty chili. I immediately had him give me the recipe so I could make it and post it here. Until now I didn't have a good chili recipe because I am addicted to my Mom's Chili Soup so whenever we are in the mood for chili, I usually make that. Because it is amazing and full of veggies and well, it's delicious. So now I have a great chili recipe too! I'm so excited. Anyway- it is cold outside and perfect for a nice bowl of chili. Make this and curl up by the fire and enjoy! James said it is even better if you throw all of this in the slow cooker and let it sit all day while you're at work. I may have to try that! Love a good slow cooker recipe!
