This recipe is my Blue Ribbon Holiday Chili made with Red Pack tomatoes. The Redpack Tomatoes are so fresh and full of flavor. The also have variety that really help develop the flavors of you food. This Chili recipe a favorite of my children and the local area.  I won the blue ribbon twice at the school chili cook of with this recipe.  I am not sure if it is the Cocoa , the brown sugar or some wonderful Red Pack fresh taste tomatoes.  I love to give chili around the holidays.  People are running around and don’t take the time to eat.  So the gift of homemade chili is great gift.

Check out the cooking Video to see how I made this Chili at the bottom of this post.
