Diann's Chili

The weather is cold so now it's time to plan out those meals of soups, stews and yes Chili. 

My Chili recipe has been around for many years, more than I will admit. :)  

On busy nights fixing a huge pot of Chili is so easy to prepare early in the day. Chili does have a way of getting better as it sits in the refrigerator, so don't be afraid to make a big pot the day before. 

You may double this recipe if you want to make a large batch of Chili.
