Chili Recipe

I tried a new chili recipe tonight... A group of my friends from CKS and I signed up to take dinner to the two auction chairs this evening and I was "assigned" the entree.  In other words, I was the last one to respond to the group text and everyone else had already claimed the salad, bread, wine, and dessert catagories.  So one of the girls sent me this recipe.  It was delicious!  I doubled it since we were taking dinner to two families and I wanted enough for our dinner as well.  It made a LOT of chili!
