Comments

Chili Trifecta is a blend of 3 different meat types, 3 types of onion, 3 varieties of peppers, 3 tomato products, 3 different beans, and 3 different types of alcohol. Slow cooked, and best served after it has been cooked, allowed to sit in the refrigerator over night, and then reheated. If this recipe can t win the local Chili Cook-off, something is seriously wrong with the judges!
