This chili was AWESOME, and I thought it was even better than Ruby Tuesday's. I wanted it fast, so I used canned great northern beans and prechopped jalapenos. I replaced the chili peppers with a small can of chopped chilies. It was excellent, and it also freezes well. I just finished the last of my first batch, so I plan on making it again tomorrow.

LOVE IT!!!! I have tried different variations on this to. More so to sneak veggies in it for my daughter... hubby too, (shhhh dont tell) I added carrots, celery and any other veggies i want to use up that are in the fridge. I even added yellow squash, and zoo-chin-knee *what my daughter calls it* Its soo good, it keeps well adn freezes well too. Its great to serve with tostios chips too.
