I specialize in preparing Appalachian dishes, which, simply put, utilize common ingredients and produces a lot of flavor and feeds many people on a small budget. This chili tastes great, is easy to prepare and can also be served over spaghetti if desired. This is what you would call "Grandma's chili."
