Spicy Chile Chili

June gloom got you down?

Not me. I love it. Who doesn't look better under the softly-diffused light of an overcast sky?

Also, it means its not hot. I hate hot. I savor June gloom each year and dread the coming of Los Angeles' long, hot summers. 

If you're like me and want to pretend that it is actually November or if you're not a fan of the cold and want something to warm up with, this chili is the answer.

Spicy, a bit smokey, very yummy and perfect on a chilly evening. Did I mention that it is really easy?
