Introduction

My daughter and I threw this together in 45 minutes when our dinner plans were derailed. It turned out to have loads of flavor and was so easy to make. My kids poured theirs over rice for more carbs, but this chili is good and filling by itself. My daughter and I threw this together in 45 minutes when our dinner plans were derailed.
