I've been making this chili for years and it's always a favorite. It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family and friends. I love that I can make it ahead of time and it reheats well.

This chili is the perfect comfort food. It's so warm and satisfying. I love to make it on a cold winter day. It's also great for a crowd. I always make a double batch when I'm having people over.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped carrots and celery to mine and it turned out great. The chili is also very versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to taste. I like to add a little bit of sour cream a
