Chili Casserole

This was a recipe challenge recipe. This was so good!! It didn't have a lot of spiciness like you think it would with the seasonings, But it was so good! I actually forgot to pick up the chili seasoning packet at the grocery store so I found a recipe online and made my own chili seasoning, I'll share that recipe here as well if you'd like to make your own :o)
