A very tasty chili to warm you up on a cold winter's night. Use extra lean beef to further reduce the fat content. It turns out very thick and delicious.

FULL FLAVOR AMAZING CHILI



Full Flavor Amazing Chili image

OK I tend to think my recipe's are beyond better than most (dont we all??), but this chili is amazing. There is so much intense deep flavor going on. If anyone has any suggestions or additions, dont hesitate to post them. But this is far beyond the best chili ive ever made or eaten, and it gets those reviews from anyone who eats it. The spices are more guestimates, since I never measure - cook to your own taste.
