OK, that settles it! My next batch of chili will have coffee (since there's no coco in my house) for that smoky taste.

I make sure my tomatoes do not have sugar in them since hubby can't stand sweet chili. Hence no tomato paste or tomato sauce. And if I can't find KIDNEY BEANS without sugar, I make mine with garlic the day before.

Wonder what Lawnguy ever decided to do?.....

After reading everyone's recipes, I'd have to say that I'd probably like them all -- except for those who say they get their chili from a can. That's just sad, folks.

LOL!

My family doesn't like sweet chili either, so I fix it the normal way, then at ketchup to my bowl.

I know, I know, it's like the ULTAMATE 'chili sin', but I like it. When I was a kid, it used to gross my mother out somethin' fierce!
