This was a little bland to me, but I like my chili a little spicier. I haven't given up on this recipe, and I will try it again, but this time I'll add some cayenne, more chili powder, and cumin (which I added this time). I think it has possibilities, but just a little less "potent" that I would have like. Sorry.

I was born in Newfoundland, Canada. I grew up watching my grandmother bake bread and knit.
<br>I now live in a friendly little town on the coast of North Carolina. I love to bake, especially bread and desserts. I also love to knit, especially socks, just like my grandmother. I am the co-owner of a yarn shop in our little town. When I'm not working in the shop I am usually at home in the kitchen!
