Your Mom too!?
I never thought that I liked chili because Mom would make it with cheap ground beef without draining the fat off after browning. She was from the South and thought that "fat" added flavor to everything. I was quite surprised at how chili was supposed to taste after having it at my best friend's house. I still make the same chili recipe as my friend 45 did years later!
