An easy and fun recipe for camping or any time! This tastes so great made on the camp fire! But is also great cooked on your stove at home! We make this several times a year both indoor and out. It is also good for tailgating and Super Bowl! You can dress it up or down for desired effects... Put tortilla chips on the bottom of bowls, cover with Chili... add any additional toppings. My grandchildren love to help make this and eat it... a real win win! Play With Your Food!
