As you will see, the main differences between our recipes are the following:- less onions in my modification
- no diced tomatoes as I don't really want a real "tomatoey" soup/chili
- no green chiles as there are enough of them in the rotel
- instead of pinto and kidney beans, I add pinto and chili beans
- only added 2 cans of bean versus 3 cans...there is a such thing as to many beans :-)
- added tomato sauce to make it more of a chili than a soup
- paula made her using a slow cooker and mine was just done on the stove top...both work very well.
Where is the recipe for the meat and potatoes? I hate Chili!
