Chili........

My kids and their families LOVE 'Papa's Chili'.

At 1800 hrs this evening, I was notified that my grandson Sam has 'no practice' tomorrow, and that both kids and their families will be here so we can have 'Our Christmas'.

Due to such short notice, and not having any ground beef or stew meat thawed out (or many of the other supplies needed to make chili), I ran to the grocery store and bought everything needed.

Meat is browned, everything is mixed together, and in the crockpot on 'High' for a few hours. I'll turn it down to 'Low', and give it a good stir, just before I go to bed.

Due to our kids living 40 miles away from us (one east, the other west), we're practically smack dead center between them. Mara (oldest granddaughter, is involved with band), and Sam (oldest grandson, involved in wrestling, basketball, softball), it's tough to find the time for all of us to get together.

I tasted the chili. Man is it ever GOOD! I actually think I outdid myself. I changed up a couple spices that I sprinkle on the meat when I start browning it. Nothing too spicy, just a little more 'zing' than usual, with minimal carry over.
