Although I was always interested in cooking, I never got a chance to do much of it until I got married. I used to only rely on cookbooks, but over time, I became more confident and started creating my own recipes. This is one I'm especially proud of. - Giovanna Garver, Paonia, Colorado

If this chili had more heat we would have been completely satisfied. Next time I will add some jalapenos and diced green chilies for some heat.

I made this chili last night. It was delicious. I made it without the ground beef and with a can of mild green chiles. I gave it four stars because it calls for dried black beans, which are better if you're watching your sodium, but kind of a pain in the behind to soak, boil, soak again, etc. I would make this again, though. The potatoes are a nice addition.
