Scoutmaster Woods’ Tenderfoot Chili
"This hearty version of our chile was developed to feed a patrol of eight hungry Boy Scouts. The recipe uses every ounce of every can and uses packaged measurements so there is no room for error in cooking and no leftovers. Accompany this excellent pinto bean chile con carne with dutch oven corn bread or camp-made deep fried sopapillas and honey-butter. Top off the meal with a cranberry-orange juice cooler."
