I will admit that I whipped up this Beef & Bean Chili for the sole purpose of picturing it….on a Baked Potato. That’s right. I’m about ready to share a big potato round-up I’ve been working on. Stay tuned…
In the meantime, I’ll assume you’re here for a very basic, but very tasty Beef & Bean Chili recipe. I pictured it in a bread bowl first, because to me that’s a Win in the Chili World.
I sometimes envision myself as a member of Chili World.

Libby I’m so glad you did rustle up this recipe. Now I can’t wait to try it out myself. What a perfect winter warmer xoxo
It’s funny because generally my husband is the chili maker in our house. I got up early this morning to catch the light and had to go it alone. I think it was pretty good if I might say so myself. Hoping the need for winter warmers lessons in the coming weeks :)
