Obama's Chili Recipe

I made this last night for our very small Election Night get together. It was good enough that I've been asked to post the recipe. To save space, I've posted it as a comment, and provided the title link as well.

Side note: The Ciroc Obama was good, but as Brook says, I like any drinks that are blue. :)

***Note: when I made this, I used more of some things, and had enough for 6 adults and 2 kids, I'm putting my variation in caps/parenthesis behind ingredients)

Ingredients
