Beef and Spicy Italian Sausage Chili

Had a busy weekend, got double whammied  with having both of my parents birthday.  So my dad wanted to grill out, easy enough. However, his favorite cake is German chocolate cake.  That is a tidies cake, of course I made it for him.  My mom wanted chili and a plain Jane chocolate cake.  Thanks mom!  Anyway, everyone in my crew seems to like the chili that I make so that is what I decided to share with all of you. Enjoy!
