"This is the only way to cook and serve chili. I have been collecting and making chili recipes for more years then I want to admit. This is my recipe. I suggest using the options provided for the best result and flavor. Don't be fooled it is not to hot to handle. Cooking the full 6 hours increases the flavor. Flavor gets better over a few days.."
