Chili!

Okay folks, my desire for cooler weather is starting to go into overdrive. We love a good bowl of chili here in our house, especially during the cooler months. Well, while dreaming of Fall to arrive my taste buds took over and I just HAD to make chili! I know, chili isn't the healthiest meal I can make. That's not the point. The point is that it's comfort food and I was needing a healthy dose of that. So, chili is what we had and it was tasty!

The Ingredients...
(Don't let the "False Alarm" label fool you. This chili can get a little spicy, especially if you let it simmer longer than the recommended time.)
