Chili Recipe

Growing up, my family never ate chili.  The well known story is how my dad swished his milk at dinner when Joe and I were first married and we had my parents over for spaghetti.  The man has a very bland palate and cannot take any form of spice so I had no experience with chili.  My husband changed that for me though.  He seems to change it about a bit every time because chili is such a versatile recipe, but this Chili Recipe is by far his best one yet and it is absolutely perfect for the month of October.

The reason that I like this chili recipe the best is that it is a hearty chili with just a mild kick of spice.  I like my chili chunky and thick.  Have you ever seen those Chunky Soup commercials that always star a football players mother?  Well, I want my chili to make me feel like it could fill the appetite of a football player and this recipe does just that.

Chili Recipe with beer

I'm not much of a beer drinker {more of wine or fruity drink type of girl myself}, but my husband loves his beer and he looks forward to the Fall every year so that he can easily buy Samuel Adams' Octoberfest.  It was the perfect beer to add to this recipe with it's mild citrus and toffee flavor.  It just screams of Fall!

    I'd love to try your recipe. Do you rinse the beans before adding them, or use the liquid from the cans as well?
