My friend Bette made this recipe and loved it and said that she had to limit her hubby, Rog, to two of the yummy Twisted Cheesy Cornsticks! I made the recipe using turkey and it was a BIG hit! Flavorful and as the baby bear says, "Just Right"!!

This recipe is AMAZING!!! It was fast and easy to make and my kids loved it. We made it on a cold night and it warmed us up instantly. The chili was filling without making me feel heavy afterward, which is always a plus. I recommend this to anyone that likes chili (and who can pass up cheesy cornsticks??), especially during the colder months. I will use this again and again; it has become part of my recipe binder!!
