CHILI; Old Fashioned, Simple & Delicious

Old fashioned chili made with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. An old south Texas recipe that has been passed down for several generations. For vegetarians substitute a one pound package of the soy burgers (crumbled). No one will know the difference!
