Firehouse Sirloin Chili

Firehouse Sirloin Chili

Description:

Beans or no beans, this chili recipe is right down the middle from heat and spice perspective. I personally like the chili beans in it, and for that matter, you can add black beans or other beans if you like. This recipe has been my own personal "at home" chili and I think you'll find it VERY well received by family and friends.
