Just Your Good Ol Chili

---

My family loves this chili. for some reason, people do not always like kidney beans, but love other beans. i like to use all black beans, all pinto beans, or a mixture of half and half. this freezes very well, and is great with a nice corn bread and salad.

Brown the ground beef in a very large heavy soup pot , drain off fat and return beef to pot.
