I created this recipe from many fond memories of vacationing with my family as a child at the Jersey Shore. The smell of the ocean, the warm sun and sand, and the excitement of the boardwalk was a feeling beyond compare, not to mention, all of the fabulous foods we so looked forward to every summer! I decided to combine two of my favorites, a delicious Italian Sausage and Pepper Sandwich, and a Philly Cheesesteak into one wonderful meal...and that's how Boardwalk Chili was born! I hope you enjoy this recipe, and it brings back many wonderful memories for all of you, as it has for my family!
