I had started with a recipe from Country Living, but doctored it enough that it’s not quite the same. I felt that it was way too watery to be called chili, to be honest. Also, I did not have any chili seasoning, per se, so I came up with my own version, which is pretty yummy!
For this recipe, I used my new favorite piece, the 5-Qt. Non-Stick Sauté Pan, for this recipe. Here’s a little information:
