Every cook has a special version of chili - here's mine. It's meaty and nicely spiced with just the right amount of beans. I love the way the beans absorb the spices and rich tomato sauce. Bon appetit!!! Kimmy

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We like the mix of meat in this homemade chili. The combination of beef and Italian sausage, along with the beans, makes this hearty. Also, the addition of lime juice and honey sweetens the flavor a bit, making for a more mild (but still tasty) chili.
