"I compiled some recipes and then played with it some more and ended up with this. My Husband says it has a 'zing' to it. It's hot but not too hot, I can't handle it too hot. Everyone who has tried this loved it. I know this has a long list of ingredients but most are things cooks have on hand. You can clean out your pantry while you make it!"

This is a great chili recipe!! I love the sweetness in this recipe. I did not use the balsamic vinegar and I omitted the black olives as I had none on hand. This is not a spicy chili but it was a very tasty one. Made for the Billboard Recipe Tag Game.

Totally worth grabbing these pantry items - there are tons of different flavors going on in this chili. I made mine in the crock-pot which allowed it to keep warm throughout 'game day!' Great chili!

Good Chili! Like adding new variations to our menu and this one has the kind of zing we love. Didn't have molasses on hand nor the olives but the rest of the ingredients came together to make for a wonderful chili we all enjoyed. A repeatable for sure!
