Don't like oregano in chili. it probably would have been good without all that oregano but, yuck.

We've made this on several camping trips and at home, and everyone raves over it! I don't think there's a way to mess it up. It's not too spicy, so bring hot sauce for those who want it. We do a loaf of crusty bread and butter with it. One time we had the leftovers the next day with scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese. One tip -- if you have an extra can of chili beans around, use them instead of the kidney beans and omit the chili powder.
