I have tried it, it's almost like my own chili. I make mine with beef or deer meat and put in 1/2 of a beer.

At the moment he could come up with a chicken manure recipe and people would rave about it. By the end of his term they may be eating it.

I like this recipe, it's about like the one I make, but I add red cayanne pepper. He said brown the beef...I buy ground beef by bulk from a meet market that is so lean it doen't have to be drained. that's the advantage of living in rural area

He's not a cook, either. This is very whimpy.
