This is one of the successful attempts, and served with a fresh green salad, it has delighted many guests. -Bob Wyatt Kansas City, Missouri

THREE-MEAT CHILI
A combination of pork tenderloin, ground turkey and ground beef make this chili unique. Instead of pinto beans, you can use kidney beans, white beans or black beans; I use whatever is in my pantry and never seem to use the same kind twice in a row. It makes a big batch, but don't worry if you have leftovers-the chili is even better the next day.

FLAVORFUL SOUTHWESTERN CHILI
"This filling, hearty recipe comes from my grandmother," writes Jenny Greear from Huntington, West Virginia. "It's full of flavor, freezes beautifully and makes a complete, last-minute meal. I top it grated cheddar cheese and chopped black olives and serve tortilla chips on the side." JENNY'S TIP: "If I'm feeding a crowd, I increase the pinto beans to four cans to make the meat go farther."
