Sam's Place: chili recipe

This sausage beef chili recipe is the perfect cold weather day warm-up. I’ve made chili plenty of times, and always used the standard chili kit that you find in the grocery store.

Jamie has been making this award-winning chili for a few years now. This chili recipe is amazing, and Oh so good. I thought it was time to put it all down in writing and share it with you.

This is a meal the whole family is going to enjoy. We make this often during football season, it's a great game-day treat.

Are you ready? Here is what you need:

2 lbs. of ground beef (80/20)

1 lb. bulk Italian Sausage

2- 16oz. can of Red Chili Beans (In Medium chili sauce)
