 Serving Ideas : Serve with fresh apple slices, coleslaw, cheddar biscuits.
 
 NOTES : For spicier chili and a different taste, use the V-8 hot and spicy 
        juice. Worcestershire sauce is optional but recommended.
              This recipe was developed many years ago when, as a Navy 
        wife, I often had to use the lowest price food and still get 
        nutritional and good-tasting meals prepared. We still love this 
        and often have it served with our favorite dishes of homemade 
        coleslaw, biscuits made with cheddar cheese and wheat germ, and 
        some fresh crisp apple slices.
