came out really good- love the course ground steak in there- simmering that chili made the beef super tender but you can tell it was different than store bought hamburger meat. had some family and friends have a bowl and it was excellent.
side note: i cook up a box of large elbow macaroni then put a cup or so plain into a bowl, then cover with parmesan cheese, add the chili over that and add what ya like- i like fresh diced onions, jalapenos, sour cream- good as hell!!
