Cumin makes this chili top notch! Definitely a recipe to keep in mind for chilly, ahem, I mean chili nights.

This chili recipe was so good! I thought the corn meal added a great texture (I usually crumble corn bread into my chili anyway, so I was totally on board with this).

YUM! I love Bob Evans' chili, so I'll have to give this a try
