I can't believe you have this recipe all the way in New Zealand. This is a recipe from Sassafrass! Cookbook from the Springfield, Missouri Junior league. This particular recipe was contributed by former Missouri Senator, Jack C. Danforth. It is a good old Midwestern chili recipe and happens to be my favorite! - 01 Apr 2014
