The First Chili We Ever Made

Submitted by HEP MEP

"This was the first chili recipe my husband and I tried,back in 1985,and ate it for years.It came from an old cooking show called Cooking Now, with Chef Franco Palumbo.(I'm really dating myself here!)We eventually ditched on the stew meat when we found we could get coarse-ground chuck at a local butchers. It's very easy,and very tasty...hey, I'll have to try it again! (We used to chill it by putting the pot outside- covered,of course!)"
