Justin's Hoosier Chili

This is a wonderful chili recipe that I have used to win chili cook-offs in Indiana. It's a hearty, spicy, award-winning chili that's sure to hit the spot on a cold winter's night. Your friends will never guess that the secret ingredient is Campbell's tomato soup. Don't substitute other brands as they don't give the same results.
