Chili

Submitted by PalatablePastime

"The chorizo gives this a very good flavor. Spice it with whatever you like. I used a habanero spice mix called "Hotter than Hell". But this doesn't have to be hot if you like it mild. Just season with whatever you are comfortable with."

Absolutely loved this recipe! My office was having a chili lunch and this went over really well. My family also polished off the extra that I couldn't fit into my crockpot.<br/><br/>I couldn't find the habanero spice mix but I added peppers (green and red) as well as a few jalapeno. I also like a chunky chili and added a can of diced tomatoes to it. Personally, I didn't find this spicy or hot but it did have a nice "bite" to it.
