    I have made the Jamaican Jerk Chili twice and think it is amazing! I will have to try Katie’s Chili if you think it is better!

    We are a chili-loving family and I love to change things up whenever I make a pot of chili. I am bookmarking this so I can go through these recipes one by one. Great list!
