Hearty Italian Chili image

Meet the Cook: Beginning when I was just 5 years old, I was my grandmother's constant helper in the kitchen. And, like her, I can't seem to follow a recipe without changing it! That's how this one came about when I got bored with plain chili. The first time I served it at a potluck, people passed around copies of the recipe. My husband and I have three grown children and three grandchildren. -Chloe Buckner, Edinburg, Pennsylvania

I found this chili to be a bit bland. I had to add some extra spices to it to make it more flavorful.

This chili is a bit too spicy for my taste, but it's still very good.
