My family loves homemade chili, but I was getting tired of making the same old thing so into the kitchen with determination I went in hopes to come out with something different and I did. The guys all loved it. My youngest son decided it was like a hot dip so he grabbed tortilla chips and helped himself! My husband suggested serving on baker potatoes, not sure about that one but who knows :)
