This chili is a little sweeter than other recipes I've tasted, but I like it that way. It reminds me of the chili my mom used to make.

I did not see salmon fillets in the recipe. Everyone has a different way of making chili. I think the title is incorrect; as it implies that all Hoosiers make chili this way. Brown sugar should not be in chili-unless you are preparing Cincinnati 5 way chili.
