Marlas’ Chili

As the days start to get colder and the shorter we start to reach for comfort foods. One of my best friends shared this chili recipe with me years ago. It remains one of our favourite winter meals. It is best served with warm garlic toast. It is so quick and easy to whip up as a freezer meal.  Simply thaw and let simmer in a crockpot. The longer it simmers the better it tastes.
