#ChefEddPresents — Chili Con Carne

This little gem of a dish is a godsend for people who love spicy food. I actually have never tasted chili con carne before, and ever since it was mentioned by Lily and Marshall on How I Met Your Mother, I've been curious. So with a new ambition to "over-cook" myself, armed with at least 10 spices, I dove right into this Mexican (or Texan) classic.

The good thing about the dish is it's good with rice, with tacos or on its own so the lazy chef that I am, I'm pretty much covered for the rest of the week. UPDATE: Yeah, it lasted for several days unrefrigerated, even.
