Super Simple Chili Recipe
It’s the fall season. The air is chillier, long sleeves are out of storage, and warm stews will become a dinner staple. One of my favorites is chili. Why do I love it so much? For starters, it’s a quick meal, preps in one pot, and feeds all six of us with enough leftover for lunch. Plus, the kids eat it up with no complaints…can’t beat that.
All ingredients in one pot. Super simple and easy.
We serve over rice with some sour cream and shredded cheese.
The great thing about this recipe is that you can add or adjust this to your taste. You can add yellow bell peppers, corn, substitute one can kidney beans with black beans, etc… Eat it with rice, tortilla chips, crackers, over hotdogs, etc…
