Yesterday on the way home from an appointment my daughter asked for chili. I told here I could grab her some from the restaurant up the street and she said it wouldn't be the same as my homemade chili. So this morning I started to work on a pot of chili for her which will go great with the polar vortex setting in. Unfortunately, the last time I sent someone to the store for groceries instead of chili seasoning the got be chili powder. Not quite the same thing so today I threw together the best pot of Chilli I have ever made, sheerly because someone goofed and I had to make due. Hope you Enjoy!
