This is the time of year for awesome soups, chowders, stews and chili. Thick Hearty Beef and Bean Chili Recipe is one of my favorites. Nothing better than a big thick bowl of chili. You know the kind that is almost thick enough for your spoon to stand up. You can serve it over spaghetti noodles, mac n cheese or with a side of Best Cornbread Recipe.
