Desciption

this is a really beefy chili, and makes a great, hearty meal on a cool evening.it's not a terribly spicy version, but if you want to turn up the heat, add some cayenne along with the other spices. i often add more seasoning at the end of the simmering time to suit whomever i'm serving. i probably get more requests to make this than anything except my gumbo. this also freezes beautifully (if you have any left!). i hope you enjoy it as much as i do!
