Chock-Full Chili Recipe

I developed this recipe as a compromise-my daughters and I dislike beans, while my husband and son enjoy them. By adding lots of other ingredients, the girls and I have fewer beans on our plate, and the men still get to eat the chili they like! - Diane Miller, Terrace, British Columbia
