Chili Lover's Chili

This chili recipe is so good! It did not come from a written recipe so i don't have exact measurements.i just add what's needed until it tastes right.i usually make the pinto beans from a leftover spiral ham bone (saving the liquid from the bottom of the pan the ham was cooked in-liquid gold i call it-adding to the chili also)and have the beans for dinner one night and chili the next.there's only 3 in my family so it works out just right!
