Easy to follow Chili Recipe

I need to start off saying, I am not a big chili person, until I created this Chili recipe. For years, I would have a bowl of chili and by the time I get ¾ through, I am over it. For the last 10 plus years I have been working on creating a Chili recipe. A recipe with a depth of flavor, onions, jalapenos, chili, peppers, tomatoes, and beef, not just chili. We were putting gutters on our house this fall, and what better way to warm our helpers but with a bowl of chili. This was the time I was going to create a bowl of chili that I would want seconds of. I succeeded!! I was through the roof with excitement. My hopes are you love it as much as I do, and my family and friends did.
