Sweet and Spicy Chili Recipe (Stovetop or Crock-pot)

I am not usually a “chili” person, but let me tell you this Sweet and Spicy Chili recipe is AMAZING! It gives a fabulous little sweetness to your tongue at first and comes right at you with a slap of spicy for the after taste. Top it with some homemade cornbread, sour cream and cheese and OMG this recipe will rock your world! (Or your taste buds at least!)

I absolutely adore this chili recipe on a brisk fall or winter day! When the weather gets a bit fridged I find myself counting on this recipe to warms us up! It’s really so easy, and only takes about 10 minutes of prep work and then I throw it in our Ninja Cooker (crock-pot) and have it ready for my family to snack on throughout the day. We almost never have left overs, but when we do it tastes just as good if not better on the second day!
