BEEF AND BEAN CHILI

Beef and Bean Chili image

This tangy chili from Linda Charlier of East Cleveland, Ohio, is chock-full of beef, beans and rich tomato flavor. Linda suggests serving it over cooked brown rice, a baked potato or with a crusty loaf of warm bread. "If there are any leftovers, it freezes well and also makes yummy omelets or filling for homemade burritos," she adds.
