This is very good chili and quite easy to make. I spice it up a bit and use 3 jalapenos, seed and rib 2 and slice the 3rd. I also use salsa style diced tomatoes which gives it the final kick. Ouch but not too hot! It's a big hit at our house. My husband loves it!

This was great with the corn bread. I mixed broth with the water and left some of the seeds in the hot peppers for extra kick. Very filling without the meat
