Although the cooking time was a bit long, this chili was super-simple to make and totally worth it! Tasted great on dogs and can't wait to try it on some fries!

Made this for KelBel's Cookathon in honor of her dear husband, Eric. This was excellent chili. My crew loves chili dogs and they were not disappointed with this chili. It was super easy and very tasty.

I made a 1/2 recipe and got a LOT of chili. You can be generous when ladling it on. Mine is on the chunky side because the beef wasn't fully defrosted when I put it in the boiling water and it made solid chunks before I could really break it up. However it sure didn't hurt the taste any, it's delish! Very simple to make and if you would care to I'm pretty sure that you could make a bunch and freeze it in portions.
