Welcome to a not so typical blog post from me! Today I am participating in a chili-soup-stew recipe swap and blog hop hosted by my friend Leslie. Thank you to all who are visiting me from Lisa’s blog, Musings of a Middle-Aged Mom welcome!
This is the perfect time for adding new recipes to your repertoire as cooler weather has arrived for most. Something about fall just begs for all the chili, soup, and stew, amiright?
The recipe I am sharing today is one I came across about 18 months ago and has become a staple in our home. My family loves it – my husband, sons, and even my extended family. I’ve shared the recipe with my mom and she’s made it for friends who loved it too.
