Alice Snelling's Easy Chili

Alice raised 6 children so she is an expert at cooking up easy meals. I liked this chili even though I had never thought of cannellini as being a "chili bean." They are excellent in this chili. Actually, I like the 2 cans of beans called for in the recipe to be cannellini.
