  2. A cold January evening and a steaming bowl of hearty chili. Can't ask for much more than that, except maybe a second bowl.

  5. You like things HOT! ;) I make FG chili, which the FG stands for
    F---ing Good! Ha ha! I only use ground beef though. I just might try this recipe minus the jalapeno pepper and switching to mild Italian sausage.
