Hope you enjoy this.

Looks MIGHTY GOOD!

Ill will defiantly give it a shot.

Thanks BAF & BT - my Dad was in demand for that an pancakes (two extremes I suppose). He was constantly cooking one or the other for the organizations. I recently came across his Swedish buttermilk pancake recipe and I'll post that one too when I figure out how to reduce it. I can remember as a kid them dumping 50 pound sacks of flour in a barrel and mixing. They were kind of a pancake and kind of a crepe, very thin and light.

Thanks for sharing! I will have to try it.

Enough time has passed that I hope all you guys tried this. It really is an outstanding chili he came up with.

Just made this chili very quick and easy thumbs up from everyone in the family thanks for posting it

Thanks for cooking that, Frank. I appreciate you taking the time and glad the family enjoyed it.
