Grandma's Secret Chili Recipe

I can't even begin to tell you the memories of this chili as a little girl. The single men in the neighborhood could smell it cooking from a mile away and would come begging for a bowl of chili from my dear mama. She loving to take care of everyone would make a huge pot of this and give them a Tupperware container full of it. They practically danced all the way home. 

This is such a good chili. You can make it more spicy by adding cayenne and Tobasco to it or make it more mild for those with a sensitive stomach and for children. 

Do let us know what you think if you try it. Mama would be so happy that you carry on her secret. 

Enjoy my friends.

Season these as well to taste. Put tomatoes, onions, peppers, meat, beans, herbs and seasonings in the stock pot and simmer until all seasonings have mingled and it is hot throughout.

Add Hot pepper sauce if desired and serve.  I always loved making this and the neighbors loved when I did too because I shared.  Those young men fairly lined up at the door to get a container of this chili.  It made me smile to share it.
