Friday's Recipe

I have several recipes that seem to turn out different every time I make them, and chili is one of them. I search for different recipes, because each time I am told, "I'm going to find you a good chili recipe, and you can make it."
Well, for the 1st time in 19 years, I have found a chili recipe that I was told to keep! So, I thought I'd share my triumphant find with you on our Friday's recipe. I altered it a little bit according to my family's taste. I will list those changes below next to the ***.
