RONALD REAGAN'S CHILI
This I heard was President Reagan's favorite homemade chili as prepared by White House Executive Chef Henry Haller. Will serve about 16 people. Chef Haller had served variations of this chili recipe in the White house since the Johnson administration, and it has proven to be one non-partisan pot of chili.
