"This chili is great, with or without the hamburger. I got it off another web site. It is easy to make and tastes great. I halved the recipe and it still made a lot."

This is a very good recipe for a crowd or to make a lot of leftovers to freeze. We are always bringing meals to people in need so this is a good one for us! I've never put butter in chili before so did half the amount, don't notice it in there so it must be good. :)
