Rochelle's Sweet & Spicy Chili

Many of you will be gathered around your televisions tomorrow for the Superbowl of 2012. And although I am not a fan of football, I do understand that this game is a big deal to lots of people around me. In the spirit of things, I am making chili for Superbowl Sunday and I wanted to share my unique recipe with you.
