"This is one of my uncle's recipes for his ultimate comfort food...chili. Nothing too fancy or too complicated, just a great pot of chili with complex flavors and a generous amount of heat. Like most soups and stews, this chili tastes best when it's cooked low and slow for a few hours, allowing the flavors an opportunity to meld together and intensify. - Uncle Walter's Chili..."
