This chili is really quick and easy to make if using canned beans and tomatoes. Takes a little longer using dried beans. This is a spicy chili with 3 jalapeno's cut up in it. You can reduce the heat by reducing the number of jalapeno's you put in it. Or, if you like it hotter, add more and add the seeds. We love our chili served over rice and topped with cheese. I think the rice and cheese tone the heat down a notch. Hope you enjoy! My photo.
