    Recipe Introduction


    I made this, this weekend, and it has to be the best chili that I have ever made. Needs more smoked sausage and a couple of sliced jalapenos IMO.
    Enjoy ......
    NOTE: A firehouse competition was held and the winner was the West Allis, WI Firehouse. This recipe is an adaptation of the original recipe. It contains all of the ingredients used, but proportions have been changed to make this a home-use recipe. This recipe will fill a stock pot or an 8 quart Dutch oven. Thank you to all participating firehouses and the folks at the West Allis Firehouse say, "Enjoy!"
