This is a fairly spicy chili leaving a lingering heat at back of the roof of the mouth. However with the heat are overtones of sweet. There’s a lot of tomato sauce in this chili, giving it a different flavor profile than most of the usual canned chili suspects on the supermarket shelves. Along with the meat are two types of beans in the chili. Jalapeno is listed on the label, which also helps explain part of the different flavor profile. If you’re open to a different flavor in your chili, you might like this. If you have a favorite brand of chili that you love, this may not be to your liking.
With recent low temperatures here at around -22 C (it always seems much colder using Celsius), this is a good winter warmer-upper. For the environmentally inclined, chili with beans may also be a potential untapped source of a recycled fossil fuel. And it may be the all-convincing proof that global warming really is man-made.

Hilarious line about the bean consumption and greenhouse gases being elevated!!
Can definitely empathize (unfortunately) after a weekend of chili, carmelized onions, and onion soup : )

you’re sorta going the Andy Warhol route with your photos, eh! I would love to love chili out of a can, but they never match my mom’s old recipe that I have to make myself. Think I’ll go make some now. Have a great 2018
