Many years ago, my husband and I entered a chili cook-off in Southern CA with our best friends. Neither couples had ever entered a contest before, but were up for the challenge. We were avid boaters and had shared many wonderful vacations houseboating on Lake Mohave, NV. Thus, the name "Boatbillies" was born.
This chili is a bit expensive to make and time consuming, but I think it is worth it!
I love this chili with it's blend of meats with a hint of cinnamon. Served with a warm cornbread and you've got a meal! Chourico can be found online at Gaspars.com or any Portuguese market.
