Re: Three Bean and Beef Chili
Sounds very good, I would add frozen corn to it, just to add extra color and make a complete protein with the beans. This is certainly chili weather!! I made pizza soup tonight. I had soup for lunch too. It seems to fill me up better than anything.

Mary J,
The February 2013 blizzard (we got 24 inches of snow) here in New Hampshire kept my husband and me in the house for two days and a hearty soup was what I needed. I made this chili for the first time and must say it will be on my "great" list of recipes. Thanks for sharing.
