My husband LOVES this chili!! Really it can be served with anything like Frito's or cornbread, but David can eat it plain with his favorite Nabisco Saltines. I rarely eat ground meat so I am out on this one, but everyone else likes it so we make it regularly during the fall/winter. This weekend David "guilted" me into making...haha (love you honey). Truth be told, I really don't mind at all considering it is one of the easiest recipes I have.....how hard can it be to put a bunch of stuff in a pot and let it simmer? This is a really easy recipe with some "different" ingredients but it is always a big hit when we serve it so I guess it must not be too bad..lol!
