Good Ole Chili
"This chili is a little on the mild side, not to spicy--full of flavor. If you want it spicy you can always make it that way, The flavor of this chili is better made in advance of serving it. We would make this ahead sitting in the cooler or in the fridge--then pull it out and reheat once it was dinner time."
