	         			 | Husband loved.  He would prefer to have a tangy flavor added to the dish, he puts katsup on everything.  Not this.  Refused.
 
I dislike chili and anything with beans.  I also grew up with noodles in the chili but loved this and didn't miss the noodles.
 
Best part it was very filling and satisifying. |
