Burn Notice Chili

Recipe #301668 | 4½ hours | 1 hour prep | SERVES 6 -8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Troy Johnson

This chili is a new recipe that I put together for a chili cook-off where I work. I researched the winning recipes from the last 15 years of the annual chili cook-off held in Terlingua, TX. I then simply took what I liked, and left out what I didn't as far as ingredients. Then put that together with some of the basic ingredients that I had been using for years. The grilling technique is my own addition, and lends a beautiful smokey flavor to the chili. I love the show "Burn Notice" on USA, and I thought it would make a great name for my chili. Enjoy...it has some wonderful heat...just right.
