Chili in a bag!

Yesterday, my youngest went to Achievement/Activity days (I don't know what they are called these days), and came home with the cutest thing ever, I just had to share! They made chili in a bag. The recipe is this:

In a Ziplock bag, pour
1 package chili seasoning
2 cups small red beans

Fold card over top of the ziplock bag, punch holes where marked, thread raffia through holes and tie raffia into a bow. Makes a great friendship gift during the holidays.

The card with the chili says this:

As the days are getting shorter
It seems that time is too,
so here's a little something
to help with all you do...

Dump this bag of chili, and
2 quarts water in a pot.
simmer 3 to 4 hours
Until it's piping hot!

Add a pound of burger
and 1 cup tomato sauce
Your dinner will be ready
Not a moment will be lost!

You can spend all your time
In many better ways
In hopes that you can enjoy,
These Happy Holidays!
