Chili

Who doesn’t love good old fashioned chili? I know everyone has their family version, so I figured in the middle of winter it was time we shared ours.

I personally don’t love a super spicy chili. This recipe has the perfect amount of heat to me, but like any chili you can adjust the seasoning based on your tastes. And while it’s great the first day, it tastes so much better the second day. I’ve honestly never had a chili that didn’t taste better the second day. You’re just giving more time for the flavors to meld.

So keep this recipe in mind on a cold winters night. Hope you enjoy!
