I love a hearty bowl of chili! Unfortunately, most chili recipes have beans--and beans are high in carbs; thus, I prefer to limit them in my cooking. So today I pulled out my dilapidated recipe box and found an old recipe I had saved from many years ago. The recipe was ripped out of a magazine, but I couldn't find the magazine source on it. However, it does list that it was adapted from Good Housekeeping. So, this recipe is adapted from______________ (please contact me if you know who/whom), entitled, "Crowd-Pleasing Beef Chili", who/whom adapted the recipe from Good Housekeeping.
After eating a few spoonfuls of chili, my other half's comments were, "Wow! This chili is excellent! Put it on the 'favorites' list!"
You know what? He's right. . .this chili IS excellent and it FOR SURE is going on the favorite's list! It has all the wonderful flavors and texture of a hearty bowl of chili, but with NO BEANS! Your welcome.
