Bring some magic to your kitchen with Walt Disney’s favorite chili!

When it came to food, Walt preferred very simple and basic foods like burgers, hot cakes, sandwiches, fried potatoes but there was one that he loved the most and that was chili and beans. 

That’s why we wanted to share with you Walt’s Chili Recipe so you can recreate it at home!
