Cooked with ground beef, a variety of vegetables and spices, chili con carne is an easy recipe. As with so many ground beef dishes, its variations are unlimited. A wide variety of spices and vegetables can be used. This particular recipe is one of the best chili recipes that I have made. It’s origins trace back to the Spanish which was known as “chili pepper with meat.” It makes a fast and easy dish for parties or social gatherings. It is a great dish when you are having a few of the guys over to play some cards or watch a game on TV. Chili con Carne is considered an all time classic comfort food. It is especially appreciated on a cold or damp day.
