WOW, Member chadturner03

This has to be some of the best chili I have ever ate. I was a little worried that it wouldn't have a very chili of a taste due to the simple ingredients and only 1 tbsp of chili powder. I even picked up a pack of chili seasoning to spice it up but turns out we didn't have to use it. Keep the jalapenos if you like your food a little spicy. We didn't put any cumin in the chili. I'm going to make another batch of it this week.
