"Over the years, I have tried many chili recipes. So far, I haven't tried one that I absolutely loved. I took a few recipes for chili that we have liked and I tweaked them to come up with my own. I made this for dinner tonight, everyone enjoyed and decided to post it here before I forget what I actually put in it. Notice the onion is grated, the reasons for this is that my dh HATES onion with a passion. I do this to fool him!! Also, the spices are just an estimate because I was eyeballing and adjusted all of them until they were to my liking."
