Hi Maggie. This serves 6 to 8 easily. If serving over spaghetti noodles maybe even a couple more. Thanks! -Amy
How many servings does this recipe make?
I saw you make this on TV last week and thought — “hey, it’s definitely Chilly weather”! And what a nice twist! Hubby isn’t a big “bean” fan so was a little worried. Shouldn’t have been — this is one of the best chili recipes I have made/tasted and is going to be our stand-by for me. I’m now looking forward to more good “stuff” from the C.M. newsletter! Thanks!!!!
OH — I’m 65+ and have tasted a lot of different chilies and I really do think, up to today, this is my favorite!
Could you use brat patties? If so, about how many?
Sure Nancy. I would say 6 to 8 brat patties would be perfect. Thanks! -Amy
I made this last night. VERY good!
Thank you Christine – try the White Chicken Chili – that is really nice, one of our favorites.
