Blue Ribbon Chili Recipe

So D made this one. It smelled terrific. Taste after a few hours...too sweet. I suggested cumin. D used Penzey's Arizona Seasoning (we had run out of chili powder and only had Thai Chili powder). The AZ seemed to fix it. It was really good. D wished it had chorizo and not Italian Sauage...I thought it tasted fine. I am holding off until 11 to get some for lunch. I think the flavors will be even more melded.
