Canadian Chili Recipe

Submitted by John DOH

"I'm a chili fan, and over umpteen years of making the stuff, this is my present method. I've posted it in my "Camping" thread, but thought it should get shown on the Board as well, in order that a wider group should have access to it. Chili is what you want to make it, but this stuff tastes pretty good, has both Mexican and American influences, but is a simple thing to make for dinner after getting home from work; mind it does taste better the next day, also freezes well!"
