GRAM'S CHILI CON CARNE



Gram's Chili Con Carne image

As an Italian girl from New England, I can't really say much about chili. But my boyfriend and his family (neither Italian nor New Englanders) swear by this easy, economic recipe. We have had good results subbing ground beef-style veggie crumbles-- blasphemous I know, but sometimes we herbivores outnumber the omnivores--and I must say, it was pretty tasty! This is a really flexible recipe, so feel free to play with the amounts and types of peppers, spices, etc. Enjoy!
