Chili Con Carne
It is finally starting to feel like fall around here. The temperature has dropped to the 60s, the air is crisp and the leaves run the whole gamut from red to yellow. Thus, not only is it soup weather, it’s chili weather!!!
I like a meaty chili with simple flavors, a nice background of heat, topped with cheese and crumpled tortilla chips for texture.
