Notes

Serving ideas:  Garnish with finely grated sharp cheddar cheese.  Add warm rolls or cornbread and a salad to make it a great meal.
Tidbit Tip:  If you want it hotter use more chili powder, increase to 2 tablespoons.  You can also add 2 (4oz) cans chopped green chiles.
This chili is delicious the next day and freezes really well.  I always double the recipe, some for now and some to share or freeze.   Spread some joy and treat a friend or neighbor to some delish different kind of chili.  I hardly make traditional chili any more, my family really enjoys this recipe so much.  "The Best I Ever Made"
