Kelly's Notes:
I used to love to participate in chili cook-offs, sooo much fun! But haven't done one in years. So, sharing my triple-winning recipe! (I've actually won 4, but this is the recipe that won 3 years in a row.) More than happy to share! Enjoy!! :D
(VERY old photo by me...I really need to take some new ones!!)

Comments from the Test Kitchen:
This recipe had the right amount of heat! The flavors blend well and it has fast become a favorite of many on the Crew! Directions
Stir all, and bring just to a low simmer, reduce heat and cook for at least 1 1/2 hours on low. Stir gently and occaisionally. You can do this on the stove or in a large crock pot, either way works.
Thick, rich, slightly sweet/slightly hot chili! Very unique! Enjoy!! :D
I sincerly commend you for your choice of ingredients inviolved in making this dish, you absolutly hit your mark Kelly. I can honestly reccommend your recipe as the best chili recipe anyone has ever had!!!
Thank you SO much for sharing this treasure with us Kelly!
