Firehouse Chili

---

This is an excellent chili recipe. My husband is a chili lover and requests this about once a week in the winter. It's a little on the hot/spicy side but you can adjust the amount of seasonings if you want it milder. I like to serve this with cornbread muffins and/or crackers. (estimated prep time. Although it calls for cooking the chili 2 hours you can cook it on low for several hours).
