Dear Sis,
Today I started the day bright and early. I originally planned to try a new recipe for Chicken Burritos to Freeze, but forgot I needed chili in the recipe. Chili I was supposed to make before the Burritos. To self-correct, I ended up making 4 pans of Chicken Burritos and 4 batches of Chili to Freeze. It was a much longer duration on my feet than I had anticipated, but I got the job done.
When making Chili, I realized that my recipe has evolved since I posted it a few years back, so I thought I’d take the time to repost it.
