SHOULD I USE HOMEMADE CHILI OR CANNED CHILI FOR THIS RECIPE?


That is up to you. When I make this for camping or tailgating, I use canned chili to make it simple. I love making my own chili or using a chili kit when making these at home.


HOW MANY CANS OF CHILI WILL I NEED TO GET 4-5 CUPS?


You will need about 2 16oz cans of chili.

WILL THE CHILI MELT THE BAGS?


No, you will want to heat your chili as hot as you like to eat it, and the bags can handle that heat.


IS THERE AN EASY WAY TO HEAT THE CHILI CANS WHEN CAMPING?


You can place the can right against the fire of your campfire to heat the chili.
