If you have someone who loves Chili.. make a basket.. in a brown paper sack.. with your own personal touch.. you can decorate it however you like.. and inside you can place all spices in one baggie.. and all the dried beans in other baggies.. all they have to do.. is add the hamburger and tomatoes.. You could also have a mix for cornbread allready prepared with a label instructing the wet ingredients they will need to add..
