The Best Firehouse Chili image

A friend gave this recipe to me and she got it off the internet as it was very similar to her husband's chile who happens to be a fire man. Refrigerate over night in pot before eating. Not essential, but I think it tastes better, as all of the ingredients blend and meld together nicely.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more spice. Next time I'll add a diced jalapeño or two.
