Hubby found this recipe in his most recent copy of Esquire Magazine.
Readers sent in chili recipes and world-famous chef, Daniel Boulud
judged the entries. This chili was the winning entry. It might not
be the prettiest chili ever, but the flavor was fantastic! I
definitely recommend giving it a try.
