Notes

You can have a lot of fun with this recipe once you get a feel for it. I love getting fun chilis at farmers markets in the summer. You can add some fresh tomatoes and make it pink. I sometimes add the chorizo seasoning and italian sausage seasoning to make it more complex. This freezes for months so you can make a huge batch and always have some waiting for you. I have tried using different forms of pork as well. Spicy sausage?

My favorite thing to is to put a hot pork tamale in the bottom of the bowl and then smother it with the chili.
