It takes hours to develop the good flavor of chili, right? Days? We're still working on a pot we started sometime in '04? Not so! This pork and beans stunner, that'd win any cook-off it set its mind to, takes less than 15 minutes to put together. That 15 minutes include the cheesy dippers that turn this meal from impressive to sublime. Order this and find delightful flavor in no time at all.
