Spicy or mild, veggie or meaty, I LOVE chili! This is a very simple recipe that can be adjusted easily to taste for those who like the spicier side of life! Just add a little more chili powder and toss in a few dashes of Tobasco if you'd like to liven this one up a bit more. Also, you can easily make this a veggie-chili by omitting the ground beef and adding 1 to 2 more cans of organic pinto beans. In true Valley Green style, this recipe calls for grass-fed ground beef (check localharvest.org) and organic ingredients. This dish is free of pesticides, herbacides, hormones and antibiot
