Chili

I was at Jenna's for the weekend. Robert made some delicious chili which went well with the snowy weather. I had never tried some of the techniques they used, so I thought I would put this recipe down for our posterity.

I have made many variations of this dish. However, this one has very few ingredients which goes along with my simplifying theme.
