Alright its not a secret recipe that dates back 100 years. But Many people that eat my chili want to know how I make it. So whats behind all of the fuss you ask?! Nothing really, just a lazy mans dinner that turned out being very flavorful.

I didn't have much for groceries one day and decided to throw something together. I dug around the freezer and pantry and ended up having enough to throw together for a chili, I didn't know it was going to turn into greatness. But I take credit when I can get it.
