You won’t even miss beans in your chili once you try this recipe.

This is one of those dishes where it just gets better and better each time you make it … and you start doubling or tripling the batch.

I’ve been talking about this recipe for a while now and it’s the perfect time to release it – the cold is upon us in the Northeast!  Snuggle up and grab a bowl … LOAD ON THE CHEESE!
