Are you ready for some football?  

.
For the Super Bowl today, we’re sure ready in this house.  Oh yes, we’ll watch the game alright, and most importantly, we’ll enjoy noshing on some good eats the entire time!
.
On the menu is a pot of hot n’ spicy chili, perfect for not only the big game, but also for a February Sunday afternoon despite the sun shining brightly and  spring-like 60 degree temps.  So it’s not as though we needed some spicy, hot chili to warm up our innards, but rather to just keep with our Super Bowl game tradition!
.
This chili recipe is a combination of a variety of recipes that I have married together throughout the years.  It is fairly spicy in heat though and includes four varieties of beans plus some corn.  We just love it and I hope that you enjoy it too.
 
I hope that you enjoy this recipe for Our Super Bowl Spicy Chili!
