Gumbo Chili

After many, and I mean MANY, failed attempts at making chili (how I fail at making chili I'll never understand) I finally did it. I made chili. I made chili that was so good, that not only did my boyfriend get seconds, but he requested that I pack up some so he could take it to work for lunch. Now that is some supreme chili if i do say so myself. (Keep in mind this is not a spicy chili- if you want it spicy you can substitute the can of tomato sauce with a tomato sauce with jalapenos, you can add fresh jalapenos, you can use a Hot Chili Seasonings packet, etc).
