Randi"s Chili

"History: This is how my mother always made her chili. It seems to be more oa a soup than other chili recipes are, but that is what I grew up with. Mother also used cans of and beans instead of kidney or black beans as she didn't like kidney beans. I like all of those beans, so I use them instead of the pork and beans." My dear wife's chili that I have spent my entire adult life enjoying! MadCity Dale
