Dad's Famous Chili Recipe
This recipe is my Dad's recipe that he's been making for years. It is always a hit in our house and one of my favorite dishes. This chili is pretty spicy, so if you can't take the heat, reduce the amount of red pepper and cayenne pepper. Last thing -- you have to have this chili over rice, otherwise it's just not complete! Enjoy!
