Spunky, spicy, smokey, meaty chili bursting with the flavors of a plethora of peppers. Top if with grated cheddar, chopped onions or my favorite…bacon crumbles ! Serve it with a big wedge of corn bread of a slice of warm beer bread, slathered with butter. A word of caution…have a glass of milk ready to “put out the fire” in your mouth!
