*Beef & Beer Chili*

I love baseball season because its American's pastime and for the great ballpark food. I always have to have a hot dog, nachos or cotton candy. I love having my hot dogs with some good chili, lots of cheese and of course a beer!! Hope you enjoy it! *Sorry I don't have a picture to post*
