The Best and Easiest Chili

Submitted by Concoctionista

"This is based off of Recipe #73166. I made several changes due to liking and ingredients that I had on hand. It was so easy to make. I threw the items together in 5 minutes and let it cook. My husband couldn't help himself from trying it. He usually doesn't like my experiments and will only try them on recipe night, but this was definitely an exception. He couldn't even stop after one bowl. This is that good!"
