This is a chili con carne without beans and without too many vegetables—I know, that’s not my style! But… I add extra meat for flavor. To keep it somewhat balanced, I serve it with a thick salsa as a garnish, haha! This dish is an absolute hit when you’re hosting a party with friends. They’ll definitely be back!
