Hormel Style Chili

This is a delicious copycat recipe for Hormel Chili. It's so meaty, a little spicy you can add more or less according to your tastes. I chop onions, garlic and a jalapeno to add flavor but that's optional as you can use ground spices instead. Make Frito Pie, Chili Dogs, Bowls of Chili topped how you like.
