Personal Notes:
I used this recipe for my family from Better Homes and Garden Cookbook (Red and White Check Cover) that I received from a Bridal Shower Grandma Terpstra gave for me. I adjusted the recipe a bit: In the cookbook it is called Chili Con Carne.

*I use this chili to make my wet burritos recipe.
