Bean & Pea Chili AKA “ Income Tax Chili”

I started making this chili about a 5 years ago. I live in the South and my husband and I were snowed in , and our money was teetering on good and bad times. We wanted to make chili , and we wanted it to taste original , and it taste amazing. It’s been a a family staple ever since.
