Absolutely the MOST FANTASTIC chili! I serve it every other Friday night when my husband and I entertain 8 very hungry, very chili-loving guys. I have never cooked a better chili recipe - not even when experimenting with chocolate or beer. Spicy and very flavorful. Adding beans lends good texture and good nutrition without changing the flavor. PS - The best way to make it is to marinate the meat overnight for at least 12 hours, then saute the meat in the morning. Word to the wise - use 2 saute pans simultaneously to cut down on the time you are standing over the stove. Put all the ingredients into a crock pot and simmer all day in on low.

This is good chili, but it's not hot. I used 3 jalapenos and 1 habanero. After making exactly as the recipe calls for, I added six cans of kidney beans because chili to me is with beans! Then more jalapenos and 2 more haberanos along with more chili powder and now there's some spice!

I finished preparing this chili yesterday. It was difficult with a house full of little children. I hoped that all that prep was worth it. Since this dish would be served to little ones, I had to eliminate some of the spiciness. Could that have such an effect on the taste? The chili was good but not fabulous after simmering on low in a crockpot. However, now that it has spent it's night in the fridge, the family is going crazy! Even my 1 year old is eating it! Yes, it passed the kid test and earned five stars. We are eating it with our Fritos, cheddar cheese and a football game. It was defintately worth the prep time and I'm sure to make it again.
