Easy Beef and Bean Chili

I love chili. I love all kinds of chili. And sometime when the spirit moves me, I will experiment. But for the most part I crave a certain predictable taste. So when I feel the hankering I make this recipe.


NB: Chili on its own is great but with this side salad it takes the taste to whole other level
