meh. at the end of the day, it's still chili. i just don't crave it that much.
i'm probably good for one 7 1/4 qt dutch oven's worth a year and that generally gets cooked around late november/early december when it first starts getting cold
i've tried all different kinds of recipes, adding sausage, chicken, shrimp, beans/no beans. it's chili.
i'm more intrigued about learning how to make a mean cinnamon role similar to those sold at dolce
