You know how when you ask your Mom or grandmother for a recipe and they say, well, i don't know exact amounts, i just put it in and taste it ....well, this is my mom's chili. I love it. But then, i think everybody loves their own mother's chili. My husband thinks it is too tomato-y. The amounts are not exact, I often add more water,another can of tomatoes, or more spices depending on what I think it needs. Very good with saltine crackers or with tortilla chips and cheddar cheese. Love my mom, love her chili!
