Wintertime Chili Cooking Instructions

Ok friends!  We made a mistake!   In twenty plus years, it’s only happened a handful of times…wink wink. 🙂  -but this time it is particularly inconvenient.  Are you one of those people who has bought the ingredients to make the chili you’ve been craving, but don’t have the Wintertime Chili instructions?!  So sorry!

Here’s the background:  We printed our Wintertime Chili labels at a new printer, and somehow, the inside copy (with the recipe) – did not get printed!  It’s my fault for not catching it.  And I’m just mad at myself…especially because it’s one of my favorite things we make.  It’s cold, it’s fall, it’s time for chili, and you are staring at the label saying “REALLY”?

This recipe does require that you have on hand a bag of our Wintertime Chili because it’s the “secret chili seasoning” and adorable snowman and snowflake pasta shapes that make this a BEST SELLER for years!
