I have tried several chili recipes and this one tops them all. I grew up with a mom who never experimented with different spices and our food was always bland. This recipe is definitely not bland and I think if you give it a try you will agree.

Steps: [‘You can make this in a crockpot or Dutch oven.

Stir until combined.xa0.’, ‘If cooking on the stove top bring to a boil and then dial back the temperature to a simmer. xa0Cook for two hours uncovered. I cook mine all day on the stove covered ( but I am home all day to watch it) and then uncovered for the last 2-3 hours so the chili can thicken.
