PEORIA CHILI

Peoria Chili image

When you come into the house and pick up the aroma of this chili, it seems to welcome you and warm the entire house. My mother was a very good cook, and a meal of her chili, corn bread, hot cinnamon cocoa and devil's food cake brings back some of my fondest memories of her. -Norma Erne, Albuquerque, New Mexico
