Killer Chili
Cooking Chili is a DudeFoodz favorite. This is a really tasty recipe with lots of deep flavor that you can make as spicy or mild as you like. The recipe makes 8 servings and is perfect for leftovers. If you don’t want to make so much just cut all the ingredients in 1/2 for 4 servings. Total prep & cooking time is about 3 hours.
