This is my family recipe for Chili. Growing up in Iowa when the leaves start turning and the smell of fall is in the air, it is chili time. Good for an afternoon of watching football games or after raking leaves. My mom always canned her own tomatoes so to me the hardest part is finding stewed tomatoes in big enough cans. I usually have to buy four smaller ones.
