Mom's Chili
"This is a great basic chili recipe with lots of flavor that I (a non-chili aficionado) think tastes good even without sour cream and shredded cheese, which is saying a lot. It tastes better the second day, as chili often does. Mom used to make this sans-meat when we were vegetarians"

I used to live in North Carolina, but now I live in Austin. I'm a newlywed, so I am collecting recipes left and right. We aim for quick, inexpensive and nutritious. Two out of three ain't bad.
