So I keep forgetting to tell you that I made this chili the night before Halloween for my little pumpkin carving ceremony. It was quite delicious! I didn't see that 2 alarm chili starter thing at HT so I googled it and found this recipe which is apparently the quantity of all the spices that is in the kit. http://www.food.com/recipe/2-alarm-chili-39280Thought it may be helpful for if you ever don't have a hit on hand. Thanks for the great recipe, my dear!!

Looks delicious! I enjoy chili with a big "chunk" of cornbread smothered with Kerrygold butter. It's so good!! Hope you have a great night~

Last year, my husband and I made the best chili recipe. I completely forgot about it until I saw yours, so thanks for reminding me about it :) We don't eat much beef, because it makes me feel sick, but chili is such great comfort food during these colder months!
