    Good basic recipe but one should never use ground meat in chili. Making roughly 3/8 to 1/2 inch cubes of meat is fast and easy if you put in the freezer for about 45 minutes before cutting. The difference is significant

    This was pretty good. I skimmed on the peppers but next time will make it hotter.
