Washabinaros Chili

Submitted by Lacer

"This recipe is based on a recipe from allrecipes.com, posted by Aaron Christophersen. I tried it because I had a lot of wasabi on hand and wanted something new to do with it, tweaking the original recipe to my liking and to what I had on hand. This is a very thick and flavorful chili, DH said it was better than his!"

I tried this recipe from AllRecipes because a co-worker of mine uses this recipe all the time. DELICIOUS!!!!!! It gives that great heat that isn't too much, and it leaves you wanting more- making your tastebuds crave it. I use food.com more than allrecipes so I am glad that this recipe is posted so I can add it to my cookbook!!!
