Hodgepodge Chili image

Since I'm very particular about chili I look at new recipes for the dish with a skeptical eye. This one, published in the Chicago Tribune on 1/11/06 looked interesting and turned out to be quite good. It wasn't nearly spicy enough so I recommend increasing the amount of jalapenos to 6 or more and at least doubling the amount of chili powder.
