A family favorite that I learned from my husband early in our marriage. He called it Wisconsin Chili and I called it so good! Ive added some time twists making it in the pressure cooker for a hearty easy one pot meal. Our go too for snowy nights by the fire pit.
Recipe. I used my electric pressure cooker. This can be done easily on stovetop as well just a bit more time. Simmer chili for a good hour before adding pasta. You might need to add more water if it reduces in simmering process.
