When we lived in Texas I made chili from scratch. I soaked the beans and pretty much took hours before the chili was ready for the table. Then one day I got really hungry for chili and wanted it NOW... Once I came up with my five can chili I haven't made it from "scratch" ever again... nobody can tell the difference!
