I love chilli! It's one of my favorite dishes. So many different varieties and it is fun to try new versions and experiment. I don't eat red meat, but I make a pretty good veggie and ground turkey chilli. I will try some of your recipe here with a few substitutions. Thanks for sharing, Joey! Enjoy your chilli ... sounds like you'll be set for awhile. I find chilli freezes well though. : )

The base of the chili (all the different peppers and spices) is very much vegitarian - you would need to use a vegtable oil instad of the butter to make it vegan, but it would eat very well.

I love chilli, especially on a cold day, and i love it spicier if my nose is stuffy from allergies, it is very good in clearing my stffy nose plus I do enjoy its taste.

Granny - this was a competition and the expected crowd was about 300+ each getting a "taste"
