LEFTOVER MEATLOAF CHILI

Got leftover meatloaf and you're tired of sandwiches (like if anyone could be;) and you want something different? Try this very good recipe. Be careful though, the way that this is written it's very spicy. (Well at least to me anyway :)). I let this simmer for about 30 minutes for a better flavor. This recipe will serve two very hungry people or 3 not so hungry people. Submitted to "ZAAR" on October 12,2007
