I made this for a chili cook-off this weekend and received many a compliment. I let the spices and meat simmer for a day and then added the last four ingredients an hour before the competition. The taste was a smooth taste of sweet with a great kick of spice to finish the bite! I think next time I might add some bacon to the mix. Thanks for a great recipe!
