The weather is cooling off and it's time for Chili and cornbread.  Yummmmmmmmmmmmm.  I just made some tonight using my own recipe and boy was it good.  All made from food storage items.  Hope you caned some tomatoes this year but if not, you can use store purchased crushed and tomato dices.  You can also use Honeyville freeze dried ground beef but I didn't.  I used 2 pounds of ground chuck.(80/20).  This also fits in with this months food storage "to get" item.
