Southwestern Chili

We have had a terribly cold winter this year.  I don’t know about you, but when it’s cold outside, I like to snuggle up and eat a nice hot bowl of chili.  It warms me and it is one of my favorite dishes.  This Southwestern Chili recipe is very near and dear to me because it is the chili that my parents made for me.  I would say it is the best chili out there.  Would I be biased?  Maybe.  Try it for yourself and let me know what you think.  Enjoy!
