This was really good, but next time I'll add some jalapenos or something to give it a little bit more kick, (the way i like my chili). I made this for our church chili cook-off and won most original. -
dont forget the beans (1 cup) this is a great recipe. I use chicken thighs, cook them in the stock, shred and return.
