Easy Salsa Chili
I adapted a recipe I found in Kraft Food & Family to take advantage of sale prices at the grocery store, and came up with this chili recipe that everyone loves! It takes just a few minutes to throw the ingredients together, and it tastes even better the next day. The original recipe called for sprinkling the top of the chili with cheese, but my family prefers to eat it with saltine crackers. It's also good served with warm corn muffins. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
