Setting a September Table

Priscilla Miller’s chili

My mom‘s chili had hamburger and beans and was easy to throw together, but it really hit the spot on a snowy Wyoming day

Mom’s go to recipe, Whenever she wanted to please people at a potluck or at home she made these. They didn’t always come out of the pan in perfect squares and yet as soon as one person tried them, they would be so vocal in their praise that they would disappear like magic. Back before box mixes were a thing.

This recipe came from extended family,
My Dad’s brother in law had a sister who treated me like family and when we went from Wyoming to Pennsylvania for summer visits she would invite me over for lessons in how to cook. These pretzels and chicken paprikas and rye bread were my favorite Margie memories.
