    • About This Recipe

    “This Chili is my husband’s specialty and is a HUGE event at our house. People and pets start roaming around the kitchen when they see Papa pull out the chopping block and peppers! It’s very thick and hearty and the vegetables and peppers add a special flavor that is missing in a lot of chili. Definitely has a little kick to it – but you can serve it to the kids!”

  • “Absolutely delicious! I made as posted put used Moose meat instead of ground beef. The intro said that it has a kick but kids can eat it…well…DH and I really like the heat so I used 2 habanero peppers and got an extra nice kick. This is going in my make again cookbook. Thanks for posting. 🙂 Tell Dave he’s an excellent cook.”

  • “Wonderful chili!We made it exactly as directed except I couldn’t find habaneros, so we used three jalapenos with seeds instead, and couldn’t find chili beans, so used kidney and black beans.We’d never had black beans in chili before, and it really added a little something extra, I think.The beer also added a nice kick, too.This was easy to make and smelled great while cooking. We’ll be using this recipe often – thank Dave – this one’s a winner!”
