Quick Chili With a Kick!

This chili recipe has been adapted from others to make it my own. The very first time i made it, i was quite impressed and had to share! The cook and prep time is quick, and it packs an awesome kick that isn't too spicy but just perfect. I made this for a potluck at work and it was the first thing to go! Its good without toppings but you can also serve it with sour cream, chives, cheese, etc. You can also add a variety of meats to your own personal preference.
