Hearty Italian Chili
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 15 min. Cook: 30 min.
YIELD: 6-8 servings (2-1/4 quarts).
Meet the Cook: Beginning when I was just 5 years old, I was my grandmother's constant helper in the kitchen. And, like her, I can't seem to follow a recipe without changing it! That's how this one came about when I got bored with plain chili. The first time I served it at a potluck, people passed around copies of the recipe.
My husband and I have three grown children and three grandchildren.
