This is my adaptation of a recipe I found on the back of a can of Bush's chili beans. I didn't have all the ingredients, so I changed it up a little. I usually serve it over elbow macaroni, but for variety you can also put it over rice; it's very good too. I usually add a little sour cream and shredded cheese to mine.
