Chili

 

Did you know that I am probably going to be a chef when I grow up? Yesterday my Mom and I made chili. My favorite part of making chili is browning the meat and putting in the spices.
We normally eat our chili with cheese straws which are like cheesy bread sticks with pepper flakes. This time we had flour tortillas and cheese quesedillas with our chili. Sometimes we make frito pie with it too. I hope you will try this recipe and let me know if you like it.
Please comment and show me a picture of your chili and how you make it.
Talk to you in my next post,
Andrew
