The other day, I came across this recipe on the Livejournal cooking comm, and decided to try it out in the not-too-distant future. It turned out really well.
This recipe definitely needs a little work, in my opinion, but it's certainly not bad by any means. I modified it from the "Cabin Chili with Meat" recipe from Maryana Volestedt's Big Book of Soups and Stews.
