Tricia's Chili

I cook around the house as much as my wife does. She found this recipe that is really-really good. It's on the hotter side for chili. It's also low in calories and it's good for you body. The real name is Doc’s Chili but Tricia's Chili sounds better. She is a good cook but I can give her a run for the money. Try it you'll like it!
