Notes
This chili is mildly spicy if you'd like more spice, leave the seeds and membranes in the jalapeño pepper or add a bit more cayenne pepper.You can use any combination of meat you would like, I do always like including the smoked sausage or kielbasa because of the flavor it lends to the chili but anything will turn out great.
