Chili con Carne - Stove Top or Crock Pot!Hurray for fall and chili time! This makes a batch for about 5 adult servings, but there’s no such thing as having too much chili.

I was skeptical of how good this might be and was prepared to grab the agave nectar or honey and some butter just in case. But it was very good just as it is. If you like waffles and you like salsa, you'll probably like them together! |
