Chili tastes best the next day. Watch out on the heat that you don't scorch the beans on the bottom of the pot. Remember, you can adjust your spices for a personal taste. Enjoy!

Incredibly hot! Not edible. Recommend reducing spices dramatically, like change tablespoons to a single teaspoon (or less). Only dish I have ever made in ten years of marriage that my husband could not eat, wild animals wouldn't even go near it. |
