Rice on Chili

All time favorite!! If you want something quick and hearty this is the meal to cook. It's so easy to make and you can't mess it up. You can pretty much throw whatever you want in the pot. My dad throws veggies, ground beef, beans, wieners...yes hot dog wieners and of course rice. Delicious!! You can basically make it your own which I did in this rice on chili recipe.
