Dad's Chili

Dad's Chili 

Another camping favorite my dad would make a large batch of chili and freeze it. OK so this one really is a guess as its hard to know what this old piece of paper means. My dad had a tendency to not write everything down, not use a recipe, or change things. I made a batch, and this is my best guess. For this recipe It only seemed fitting to use our old camping pot and dishes.
