Chili Spaghetti

I remember the first time I had Chili Spaghetti; it was during the summer of 1982, I moved to California to live with my mom and stepdad, one night for supper she served spaghetti topped with chili and cheese, and it was love at first bite. I don’t remember eating a lot of chili when I was growing up, I remember I made chili onetime from the package and my stepmom said it was to spicy for her too eat. That explains why there was a lot of bland food in our house when I was younger. Now when I make chili for my family Richard wants pinto bean in the chili and I want kidney beans, well tonight I won. If your family is picky about their beans to, you could serve them both on the side that way everyone is happy. This is a mild chili recipe, you could enjoy it the way it is or spice it up a little. I'm sure it will be love at first bite for you too.
