Cowboy Chili?
I don't know about you but our house is in full Football Mode. It starts on Sunday, goes to Monday night and now there is Thursday night!! What the heck? I guess you can do one of two things, get upset at the lack of attention your husband gives you during this season, or join him and start planning meals around Football.
Fall is by far my favorite time of year and probably one of the reasons I love to cook. So, with that being said, here is my favorite Chili recipe. I have been making this for years. So easy and so FREAKN' good!!
