Wednesday's Chow - Chili

From this week's guest blogger, Terri Thackston comes a recipe just in time for cooler weather and football season - Chili!





Murderous drug runners, a wildfire in the Texas desert and the  President's runaway daughter…Game Warden Shannon Walker didn't sign up for any of this. Add a sexy Secret Service Agent, unexpected betrayal and a desperate escape into the desert, and the border becomes hotter than Shannon can handle.










Border Heat is available in various ebook formats at amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com and smashwords.com.

This Chili recipe sounds delicious. I will have to try this to see how it tastes. Thanks for sharing.

I will have to tone it down for my lot, but definitely worth making up.

How hot is this recipe? I've been promising my DH that I would make him Chili and never have. I am a whimp but he likes it hot. Would this rip my tongue out?

Paisley, the only hot thing in it is the jalopeno, so if you cut that down, it shouldn't be too bad. If you remove it completely, you won't have the same flavor.

OK - I will give it a try and let you know. I feel so guilty not ever making it so this winter it is a must. Thanks for all the great recipes you send. I save almost all of them.

Book sounds good...your short blurb was enough to make me want to read it. As for the chili recipe...I'm always looking up ways to improve mine...so I might just add a few things from yours and see where it takes me.
Thanks for posting the blurb and the recipe :)

Thanks, ladies, for your comments. Yes this chili is hot, but leaving out the jalapeno will help. You can also try adding a bit more of the brown sugar or even a little worcestershire sauce.
