This is a really good chili, but I do know it made a lot and if you have a small family I would cut a lot of stuff in half, but if you like to freeze and reheat it. It makes a bunch of it. I made the full thing and we had a bunch of left overs, but it is really good. and I got from a crock pot recipe book. they have a bunch of good recipes in here. I have tried quite a few, but so far this one has been my favorite.
