This chili was made primarily for a neighbor couple for whom I often cook, but I did keep a small portion of it (one cup, actually) for the 2 of us to taste-test! Loved the flavor & the nice change of pace from most of the other chilis I make, so will keep the recipe around to make again, in the near future, just for us here at home! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this fall's round of Pick A Chef]
