| Bilbo's Famous Chili: Crestline Edition |
I didn't set out to write about food on this blog. I am not a professional chef. I am just a decent home cook most of the time. But, since I enjoy food and drink so much, people rave about my Kalua pork, and my family seems to love what I cook, here it is. A good recipe is always worth sharing.
I have been making chili for the better part of 2 decades and the recipe has been tweaked again and again until I got it to what I call perfect. Here's the thing though, I don't use recipes and I never write them down. I go off memory and heart.
I have spent 3 years changing and tweaking it for our mountain lifestyle.
What does that mean?
Lowerish calories, hearty, warming, and still delicious.
