Warm up with a big bowl of my Farmhouse chili. Whether you are in New England and shoveling out of from the heaps of snow Mother nature has dumped on you, or in the South where the cold winds have been intense- this is a hearty meal you are sure to enjoy! Be sure and top this yummy Farmhouse Chili with shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream. If you have a great bakery nearby, you can order Italian bread bowls.. now that is a meal! This recipe does make a rather large pot, so put a little in plastic quart deli containers and pop in the freezer for when you don’t have a lot of time to fix a homemade meal.
