Emily's Famous Chili

SUBMITTED BY: HBIC  PHOTO BY: Carrie Magill 

"This is a spicy but flavorful chili made with meat! Children may want to eat something else for dinner because this is just too spicy! Dollop some sour cream on top when serving to soften the blow to your tastebuds when you experience my chili masterpiece!"
