I have a very picky family. So it is hard to please them. I made you chili and it went over with a BANG!!!!! Also, this was extremely simply to make. I had just about everything at home already. Thanks for the receipe. -
Hi and thank you for welcoming me to this site. My only comment on this recipe is that most people when they see oregano think automaticaly of "Italian". Not so, the oregano gives this chili a very distinctive flavor when blended with the other spices. I use it in many other dishes including "Polish"
