Tis the season for a good chili and that recipe sounds great. You'll have to share the end results.
Speaking of cold weather meals... I just finished putting together a home made vegetable soup. Beef stock is 85% ground beef. Veggies are, potatoes, carrots, whole kernel corn, green beans, peas, and sliced okra. Tomato sauce and spiced diced tomatoes and water for juice with additional spices... whatever looked good. No onions or peppers this time around with my wife being sick.
