When in Doubt, Make Some Chili

The cooks and photographer have had quite the adventure lately. We don't often get sentimental here at NGCCOT, but I am happy to report that all is well and we will be cooking as a group very soon. (Maybe this is God's way of telling Dom he needs a bigger kitchen.)

As we went our separate ways to wait out the storm, I needed a dish that could feed several people for at least three or four meals. The answer? Chili.

Put the meat in the pot

I know that there is a big debate in the chili world of beans vs. no beans. Well, this chili has beans, so deal with it. It was pretty good, if I do say so myself.
