Homemade Chili

Winter is upon us and with it come cravings of typical cold weather comfort food. Nothing fits the bill better when it's 15F outside than a good, hot bowl of homemade chili.

My wife's chili recipe is one of the best around. The spice is just right. It won't light you up, but it will remind you of why its called chili. Like all good recipes, it requires some effort to prepare. After you gather all the ingredients, allow about an hour or so to get everything in the pot.
