Sweet Farmhouse Chili
This is a classic chili of beans and burger and cheese. It's the cup of brown sugar in the recipe that really gives this chili a super twist on tradition. So you get a slightly sweet taste tempering the savory. You can use ground sausage in place of hamburger, and many Amish use a venison/beef blend.
