I know there are a ton of chili recipes out there but just had to share mine too. I'm proud of this chili as it's a creation all my own. This chili has a true beef flavor without a lot of heat. I like to taste what I'm eating not burn my mouth off...lol. So I hope you like my creation. I use beef broth usually but the last time I made it I used left over frozen beef broth/chili sauce. It was Lynn Socko's recipe for chili sauce that I had put in a crock pot with a roast. So, I had frozen the extra and added that to my chili instead of plain beef broth. It turned out delicious! Either way you can't go wrong. Enjoy!
