(CLOSED) Old El Paso Green Chiles Review and Football “Tackle the Taste” Giveaway

Old El Paso is a familiar brand, with fond memories of my mom showing me how to make quick and easy bean burritos with the Old El Paso refried beans.  So when I was asked if I would like to try the Old El Paso Green Chiles, I didn’t hesitate with a ‘yes’ answer.

I’m not all that fond of super spicy foods, but my hubby sure is, so I knew he would certainly enjoy them.  I convinced him to make his infamous chili and utilize the 4.5 oz cans of green chiles we received.  The addition of the chiles put his chili over the top – in a good way.
