Happy Friday and Happy Halloween! Halloween is my favorite time of year. I alway make "Witches Brew" for supper and light up the house and wait for the kiddies. "Witches Brew" is chili in my house. I tend to make 3 recipes of traditional chili, one veggie and white chicken chili. So good and easy to share with friends and family. I usually throw them in crock pots or keep them warm on the stove and let people eat through the night. YUMMY and FUN! Below I shared one of our, well Craig's (the youngest and his buddies) favorite chili recipes. I have made 100's of gallons of this stuff for him and his buddies during the winter months. It was wonderful to have them come home and have chili for dinner and lunch. I do miss those days!
Enjoy & have a safe and fun Halloween! BOO!
