This chili is deceptive - just like the way Nora Roberts first describes the bayou. It starts out tasting sweet, but then the spice rolls off your tongue on the back half. Not to mention I just love chili and I've never tried it this way before.
So if you want to try a different chili - but still not take too much risk, then give this Louisiana Swamp Chili a try!

This dish was really fun to make (except when the onions made my eyes burn)! I really enjoy dishes where I can leave the stove to multi-task. In the time in which I was just letting this dish simmer I was being a little homemaker. I made these!
