Beefy Chili

We ate this chili while camping recently! It was tasty! Served over camp potatoes one night, and a roasted hot dog with cheddar cheese another night.

We cooked this ahead of time and took it with us to the cabin in ziploc bags - such a great camp dish! Super easy to reheat over the gas stove and a hearty and filling cozy dish for a cool fall evening.
