yes, to all counts!

nothing like good chili, even the real kind without beans. although i enjoy both kinds, somewhat equally.

i've even stooped so low as to mix a can of beans, a can of tomatoes with a lb of fried hamburger, and add a package of McCormicks chili seasoning, and been as happy as a dead pig in the sunshine.

but, admittedly some chili's are better than others, but they're all good.

the early plan was for chili to be a tasty, fulfilling & hearty meal at low cost. we've strayed a bit from the early days, but chili remains a mainstay.
