Lennie's Note:

I don't know who Bob is and I haven't tried this; it was emailed to me by my SIL. Sounds good!

This recipe was very easy to make and I didn't put as many beans in as it called for. From now on I am going to make this chili one of my regular meals.

This is the one of the best chili recipes that I have tatsted. I doubled the batch for a football party, everyone raved over it and wanted the recipe. I served it with some shredded montery jack cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and corn muffins.

This is one of the best chili recipes I've ever eaten. The seasonings were perfect and the flavor was excellent, not overpowering or too hot. Since it was the first time I had ever made it, I followed the recipe exactly, and would not make any changes now. I served it with a little bit of shredded cheddar, a dollop of sour cream, and corn bread.
