Gram wrote her recipes the way I do… I think it’s easier to follow in this format.  I hate looking back and forth trying to make sure I’m doing it right and then trying not forget any of the ingredients at the same time… Hope you find them easy to follow 🙂  Tomato Chicken Chili is delicious with tortilla chips or corn bread, ENJOY!!
