The first time I made this delicious chili was about 30 years ago. Never measured ingredients… until I decided to share the recipe with you. I got busy measuring before cooking!
Whenever I serve it to friends and family, it disappears quickly. Never a drop left! Quick and easy to make with a few ingredients. Makes the whole house smell good while it simmers. Ready in less than one hour.
This recipe can be prepared in a large skillet or in one pot. I cooked all ingredients in my pretty blue dutch oven provided by Lodge Manufacturing.
Enjoy!
