Just wanted to let you know that I made your recipe. It was delicious... one of the best chili recipes I have made. I used 1lb 80/20 beef and 1lb Jimmy Dean original sausage. I was looking for ground pork but the supermarket did not have any. The only think I did different was that I used 2 green peppers... for some reason I thought the recipe said two, but it was fine. I will definitely make it this way again.

My brother loved it too, but his wife said it was a little too spicy for her, even though I used the mild Rotel. Maybe next time I will use mild salsa as well.
