This is delicious chili! The amount of spices is just right. The amount of chili powder used was ideal to my family's taste so no need to add any more. I did not add the celery only because my husband does not care for it. It was thick but not too thick and made for a satisfying meal. I love it with the cheese, onions and sour cream on top! Thanks for sharing, Juenessa.
