Super Simple Chili!
This must be the simplest solution to your chili craving. Just open a can and heat!
I like to serve canned chili over a bed of rice, and top it with cheese and/or sour cream, for a quick family meal in a hurry.
You can save money and time by having a case of chili sent to your home on a regular basis, every month, twice a year, or somewhere in between.

It's Over ?This hurts because I still love my ex wife and we have cehidrln together, but we have had our share of ups and down over the last 5 years. We have made up and broken up several times due to lack of communication. Whenever I want to talk about the problems she shuts down and nothing gets resolved. Either way I still love her she confessed that she still does as well however she has been talking to the new guy online (in whom she has never ever met before) who lives in Australia when we live in West Palm Beach Florida. I know that she is my ex wife but considering that I still love her it bothers me even though he is miles and miles away. Last night I went to spend time with the babies and I wanted to talk with her to find out what really happened and how come we never really tried to fix our relationship. She is mad with me because I have left many times and I told her the reason why I have left. The reason why I have left is because she takes me for granted and when I start to call her on it she shuts down because she thinks that Im either starting a fight (when all I want to do is fix things) or that Im insecure and that I just want to Nag . When she does this I get turned off and then communication goes out the window and we act like neither of us are there and then that's when I decide to leave and break up. So as I was saying last night I tried to speak with her about this issue and she looked at me and said it's over. So im like ok, we never cheated on each other the years, I put her before me in everything, with what little I had I gave, and I was her emotional and physical support whenever she needed me but it was not enough. And now she is chatting online with this guy who lives in Australia that she has never ever ever met and she says that it's over . What can I do to get her back. We have been here before and we reconcile but now she says it's over. When all I have ever wanted to do is fix our relationship and get back to that place we once had. I have tried to move on and date but its hard for me because she still has my heart, and it hurts to hear her say that its over and that she is talking to someone she has never met. I don't even know if he is a rebound guy, because he lives in another country! Is it really over?
I remember a time long ago when I was a MIT (Manager in tnaniirg) at Laundry's Seafood, the kitchen manager would get the newbies to do the stuffed jalapeno poppers and the other kitchen staff would not tell them to wear gloves talking about hands, faces, and maybe eyes burning the rest of the day! LOL
Not quite chilly enough in Florida for chili yet. Soon though...

Love chili! Thanks for adding this to my Recipes, Reviews and Food Collection lens.

my husband also like chili mac
My husbands family serves their chili on macaroni--I had not heard of that before. Love your 10 min. chili recipe.
I like beans, and tomatoes, and I eat it with cheese.
Spicy chili with crumbled crackers on top. Love it!
My hubby makes a really spicy chili and serves it over rice. Growing up, I ate chili with lots of crackers and doused with ketchup. I like chili with cornbread too. Like you said, you can't go wrong with chili.
