Manly Chili

MarinesWife's Note:

I got the original recipe from Rachael Ray. I made a few changes based on how I cook. I usually double this for our large family, but do not double the broth. We like to use a honey beer also. My husband likes his chili real spicy and the children do not, so the optional Tabasco sauce is there. I just put in 2 glugs of the BBQ sauce, I do not measure much of this recipe!
