this is just the thing for chilly nights,this is a real keeper i can see why it won a cook off -
Terrific Chili! One of the recipes made and enjoyed at our house during the Olympics. Have no idea if it's Texas style or not - but it's an absolute winner here in Saskatchewan! Count me in as another that loves beans in her chile - and tomatoes! Adding this CountryLady recipe to our Family Favorites Cookbook. It's that good! -
This chili was delish!!! We loved it and I will make this for my hubby's chili cook off this year!! Thank you for sharing, it will be on my constant rotation. -
It's not even "Texas Style". Anyone familiar with Texas chili knows it does not contain tomatoes, beans or bell pepper. Of course you can make chili out of anything, just don't include Texas in the name unless you stick to the people of the great state's guidelines. Nice motorcycle though, I have a candy red '03. -
Loved it and this TEXAS girl likes beans in her chili ! Thanks for sharing !

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!!
On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges!
We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006.
I've participated in many contests & events here on Zaar but this is the first banner that I've posted. My thanks to Dreamgoddess for hosting the contest & SusieD for the banner design!
