pauline's bodacious quick chili

Pauline is my wonderful dance instructor. We got into a discussion about chili a couple of weeks ago and I left class with her recipe in hand. I made it about a week later (halved her recipe and threw it all into the crock pot) and... bodacious it was for sure! We loved it so much that we barely had any left to save for the next day. As I've been told, this is always better the next day. We used what was left over for chili cheese nachos. Yum!

At any rate, allow me to introduce the super easy, super bodacious chili courtesy of Pauline.
