Best with Beer Chili

Heading to "THE LAKE" (aka Hackensack) this week, so decided to preview our meal before we serve to the 30 people up there!!  We were in charge of the "mild" chili - but man, this was still awesome!!  Ross even said "that is the best chili you've ever made..." - so we will be making this over and over again!  It was so good and so flavorful!!  YUM!!
