This is my recipe for Chili with beans, which is the way we love it!  We enjoy it with cornbread for dinner and then have hotdogs with chili the next day.  I make a large pot so that I will have plenty of leftovers to put in containers in the freezer.  Always nice to have frozen chili and soups on hand for a quick dinner!

Y’all enjoy!
