I am craving for a good Chili lately, so when I saw a recipe I challenged myself to try it out. And to my surprise it was very easy to make and very delicious. I will definitely make this Chili again.

Note: Caution! This chili is quite spicy because of the jalapeno. It you want it less spicy scrape the membrane and the seeds out. Or you can omit completely.
You can substitute the cheese to sour cream. Sour cream has the cooling effect to the spiciness of this chili.
