Blue Ribbon Recipe
This chili is so hearty, it's like three meals in one! It's slightly sweet, but the jalapenos balance out the flavors. While the ingredient list is long, most of the ingredients are spices that add flavor to the ground beef chili. Topped with shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream, a bowl will fill up any hungry crowd.
