Smokin’ Texas Chili

Reblogger Keith Gilkey
Real Estate Agent with Re/Max Chesapeake

This is a recipe I saw yesterday by Will Hamm. I prepared it for yesterday's diner and It was great! My truck is in the shop and my grandson drove me home from work. He lives with us and is never home for diner. I asked him to stop at the grocery store and when I came out he asked what I was going to cook. I told him chili! He said after band practice I'm coming home and would like some. He and 2 other band members came and finished the pot and loved it. Thanks Will great recipe!

I never thought of using salsa in chili. This is a good recipe and I used mild Pace salsa and it was not spicy. I will use hot salsa next time.

Thanks for the re-blog Keith,  Yes you can kick it up with the hot salsa.  Glad you like it, you should look at the beer cake recipe I blog this past year, May, I think.

Thanks, Will & Keith ;)  I love good chili. I finally made my first pot a couple of months ago, and it was, well, pretty decent. I'll try this recipe on my next foray into cooking lol
