He-Man Chili

Winter doesn’t seem to want to let go this year.  That calls for chili. Or even better, this He-Man chili. This isn’t just your usual chili either. It has amazing flavor. There’s absolutely nothing boring about it. The broth is super-great. I find myself saving it for last so I can savor it the most. Not that the meaty part isn’t total greatness. But, oh, the broth! It has absorbed all the wonderful flavors of the chili. Each spoonful is amazing.

He-Man Chili

I’ve become a big fan of using Italian sausage in my chili. It really adds great flavor and a different texture than beef. It’s just one of the ingredients that really make this He-Man chili something special and something different.

I kinda like to keep the meats in my chilis a little chunky. Not big huge bites, no. I don’t want the texture of the meat to get lost in the rest of the ingredients, I want to notice it. Specially the Italian sausage with all of its great flavors.

Also try my old fashioned two-meat chili.
