This chili has won many awards. My father is a chef and attended the Culinary Institute of America many years ago when it was in New Haven, CT. This is his recipe…almost. He also adds 1 Tbsp red pepper flakes, but it makes it too spicy for my kids. But if you like a bit more kick, add away. My whole family loves this hearty meal. My father has won many chili contests with this recipe and I have won the one and only contest I entered. The ketchup gives this chili a rich flavor! We usually add sour cream and cheese on top!
