My secret sweet and spicy chili

I won't lie - I'm sick to death of cooking chili however, my sweet and spicy chili has gotten such great reviews that I decided I should share the recipe. It's similar to my other chili recipe but has a sweet taste to it that helps mellow out the spicy-ness. Just as a note, I had to go to two stores to get the Rotel tomatoes with Habeneros and found that only Target carries them in my town.

My brother-in-law (who's 29, very cute and single if any gals are interested) and I swap recipes. He made this with ground turkey and said it was good. I also fed it to my husband's best friend and son who apparently ate all the leftovers causing me to listen to a rant that I could have done without. :) No picture because if you've seen one chili - you've seen them all. :)

Ingredients:

• 2lbs ground beef, cooked and drained
