Kevs Chili

My husbands chili recipe, created after several tries and various iterations of other recipes, we found this one to have a nice flavor and just the right amount of heat. We recommend using the Paul P. chili powders but of course you can use your own combinations of what you have on hand. A blend of various chili flavors in not overwhelming amounts seems to be the key to a spicy yet palatable chili.
