Hi...
I have such a sweet hubby...he wanted to made dinner for us tonight.
Well, when I saw this recipe I knew this would be the one for him to make...he is a retired batalion chief from our town's fire department..Well, let me tell you we thoroughly enjoyed it!! It is so good...I love anything like chili and anything that has kidney beans in it. I had some leftover pepper jack cheese from another recipe, so he used half that and also regular Monterey Jack cheese...
It was delicious. I am sure this would be a hit at a potluck dinner at church too!!
Enjoy!
