Yesterday's low-60's weather made me excited for fall, football, long-sleeved t-shirts, jeans and chili. I LOVE chili. My wife, Claudia, actually uses two different recipes she's acquired over the years and both are outstanding (so good I forgot to take a picture of her creation for this blog post!).

The recipe she went with last night takes less time but is still very tasty and a recipe I've enjoyed for many, many years; my Mom gave her the recipe a few years ago.

While I can't post the recipe (because I don't know it), I can tell you that one tweak I've insisted Claudia make is adding spicy Italian sausage.

Of course, loading cheese, sour cream and crackers is not ideal for a healthy meal, it's a requirement with chili.
