I thought I would share my favorite, DELICIOUS recipe for chili for comfort and joy... Well, it has always been a smash in my home. We can eat it any time of the day.. I hope you like this version. I personally like it with lot of crackers.. My Hubby loves it with cheddar cheese.. Also, this is great for my Gluten free family members, with minor tweeks.. Our Yummy, Chunkie Chile, tastes best when I make it in our crock pot.. I hope you all enjoy this as we do! :))

How to Make Yummy Chunkie Chile

Step-by-Step

1Brown ground meat in skillet, then drain fat. Add to your chiile pot.
2Brown saugage links (you can cut it up first or after you brown it, I cut it up after. Add to your chile pot
3In large pot you'll be using to cook the chile; add stewed and diced tomatoes, tomatoe paste, and kindney beans and start cooking on medium heat.
4Saute the diced onion, peppers, and garlic in about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, until tender, then add to pot when done. If your using the habanero pepper makke sure it's cut up into fine pieces.
5Add vinegar, lemon juice,chile powder, and red cayenne pepper. Mix real good.
