"This is a take off on Chef Gonzalez "Best Chili and Easy Too" from Food.com Chili recipes. Long story made short, I began prep without being sure that all of the ingredients were at the ready. After 2 hours of actual cook time, I took a taste and found my concoction WAY too spicey and in severe need of modification. Hence, the addition of the apples, sugar, lemon juice, tomato sauce and another can of beans as a desperate attempt to save my mixture from the garbage disposal. 4 hours later, the finished product was not only edible but probably the best chili we have ever had! My husband gave it a 10. I served this with homemade cornbread (a mixture of yellow and white) with a small green salad."
