The longer this sits in the refrigerator, the better the taste seems to get.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Chili recipes are great during the colder weather and this chili con carne is delicious! The seasoning blend is perfect with just a bit of heat. Cinnamon adds a hint of sweetness. This chili is simple to make and great for game day.
