SugarLove's (Award Winning) Chili

Fall is here! That means cooler days, pretty leaves, football, and chili! Our town recently did a "Town Day" with a chili cook off and apple pie bake off.  I have to admit that I was the only entrant for the apple pie contest, so I won 1st place.  I hope that they at least liked the pie...
The chili contest had 3 other entrants that I was up against, but still took first place! I didn't take a picture of the chili for a couple of reasons.  First, chili isn't super pretty.  Second, I forgot. I'll take a picture the next time, but for now, here's a picture of my award from the contest followed by the recipe.
Enjoy!
