Fully Loaded Chili

Submitted by Marc R.

"A different kind of chili that tastes great! Very mild if you follow the recipe exactly, so you may want to spice it up by adding additional hot sauce, chili powder and/or cayenne pepper. Got this from a magazine of freezer recipes, so yes, this freezes well. Just thaw it before reheating."
