GRANDPA'S NO-NONSENSE CHILI



Grandpa's No-Nonsense Chili image

This is my variation on the delicious chili my grandfather used to make. It was the only thing he could cook (besides hot dogs), but he certainly did it right. Make sure you have a large pot to cook it in, 'cause it makes enough to have some now and freeze some for later.

GRANDPA SNUB'S CHILI



Grandpa Snub's Chili image

A soupy version of a green chile. From Great American Brand Name Recipes Cookbook, 1989 version. I'm writing it as posted, but I did not add the pinto beans, and I used cut up pork chops. I also did not use as much meat as recipe calls for. The recipe also reads that "This chili is equally delicious made with beef."
