Delicious! I made this chili for a work potluck and it got rave reviews. Forgot to add the peppers and it still turned out great. Thank you!

This is VERY good, and very simple to make. I made the whole recipe, which allowed me to use up many of the ingredients I had on hand and need to use up before my big move! I used 1 can of pinto beans, and 1 can of red kidney beans because I didnt have any black beans on hand. I also used one green pepper and one yellow pepper because I didnt have a red pepper. I wanted mine a bit more heaty, so I used 1 whole serrano instead of the jalapeno. This is just delicious, and I will be making it again. I served it with Skat's Poppin' Jalapeno Bread Poppin' Jalapeno Bread. Thanks for the recipe!!! :) I do hope you'll post more! :)
