Mama E’s Chil-E

"Chili automatically makes me think of comfort. This recipe is all about the flavor. It is savory and comes with a kick. Growing up in an Asian household, my parents never made it. Now that I have my own family, I decided I wanted to try making chili from scratch! I was so excited to make it for my kids for the first time. They loved it!"
