   I know - it is spring and getting warm outside, but I still can't resist a delicous bowl of chili. I created this recipe because I love easy and flavorful. The cast-iron dutch oven is what I believe gives this chili it's amazing flavor.1 Leftovers freeze well. I love to top tamales or baked potatoes with chili. I also serve it with shredded cheese, green onions, corn chips and a dollop of sour cream, or cheese crisps.
