Comfort Food . . .

When I heard the weather forecast for the possibility of icy weather for the next few days I knew it was time to make chili. For me nothing is more comforting than a big bowl of chili when the weather is blustery, cold, and everyone is home bound! This recipe is one I posted in October. Hope you'll give it a try. It's delicious!
