We LOVE chili around here! It is so flavorful and easy to make. Johnsonville Sausage is one of my secret ingredients to pack in the flavor. In celebration of Valentine’s Day, I am taking a slow cooker full of my chili to our local volunteer fire house! Our fire crew works so hard and we are sharing the love today of chili today!
