CHILI -CARIBBEAN STYLE

I am posting this so I don't lose it but if you are looking for something that is different for your chili but still very tasty this is the one. I won "Most Unique" in a chili cook off with this one. You can add beans if you like, we don't care for them in our chili. It is even better the second day.

CARIBBEAN CHILI

Caribbean Chili image

Sweet and spicy! I had this chili at a pampered chef party, lost the recipe and tried to recreate it. I have added my own lime juice and cilantro to this with diced tomatoes in case you cannot find the cilantro and lime flavored tomatoes. I have also used peach-mango salsa and pineapple salsa as well. The idea is to add 1 can of tomatoes per lb of meat/can of beans. We eat this with cornbread and topped with sour cream and cheddar cheese. Also makes a great chili dog.
