While on maternity leave I have decided to try out new recipes. We are testing out one new recipe a week, in hopes of adding to our ever growing collection of dinner favorites! We thought this was a nice twist on the old fashioned chili! It made a TON of food - we froze half of it and are thawing it out for dinner tonight :)
