Two Bean Camp Chili has deep rich flavors of a homemade tomato sauce that thickens as the big pot of chili cooks.
Two Bean Camp Chili is a year round chili. It will warm you up in the winter and make for a fun barbecue side dish in the summer. We also have a kind of a gringo Cinco de Mayo around here so this is also served for the fiersta .
I am getting more and more excited as summer draws near. It has been years since we have been able to take off on an extended vacation.
Everything seems to be aligned and no one is ailing. So this year, Â it feels like we have graduated and are ready to hit the world running.
This week I have just started to get organized in the meal department. There is a list of about 15 recipes that we can make outside on a grill or over a grated open fire. This chili is one of them. I can’t wait!!!
Don’t get me wrong. There is a little single cup Keurig and microwave in our 16 foot trailer but that will just make it easier to heat up this chili for the next night. I repeat, I can’t wait!!!
