Why do I like it?
This is a hearty, satisfying chili that any meat eater would also love. You can make it as spicy or mild as you like. It is a great one pot meal. Leftovers can be eaten for days or frozen. You can serve over salad as I did above, over pasta or even a baked potato.
Any recipe notes or tweaks?
I used red pepper instead of green because I like the flavor better. I also omitted the allspice. I use a bit less garlic, about half of what the recipe calls for. I also used half the amount of cayenne as I wanted a milder flavor.
