Introduction

This is a simple chili recipe that was a real crowd pleaser in the middle of a busy day at elementary school in February! Can be adapted to a vegetarian diet by omitting the beef, adding a variety of beans and grain. Local beef was used and the beans were pre-soaked and prepared ahead of time. Enjoy!
