I saw this recipe a long time ago on the food network. It was on a show Sara Moulton was doing. We really enjoy chili and at the time I wanted a new recipe.
I gave this one a try and it has been a favorite since then. It is the chili recipe that I use the most. It is easy and really good. It does take some time to cook, but it is worth it.
This recipe contains a lot of chili powder so you may want to cut it back a little. I usually use about 2 Tablespoons. My husband would enjoy it with the full amount of chili powder, but it is too spicy for the rest of the family.
I hope you give this one a try. It really is good.
