At chili suppers, this one always disappears first! It's nice at home, too, since the longer it sits in the refrigerator, the better the taste seems to get. My husband (an ex-farm kid also) and I have two children, 15 and 10.

I used ground turkey, chicken and vegetable broths instead. Delicious!

The longer this sits, the better. It reheats beautifully and can even be frozen. I don't add the beans if I intend to freeze it, but add them after thawing.

We really, really liked this recipe. I added an extra can of kidney beans, and would probably use a little bit less salt because I like to put saltine crackers in my chili.
