Recipe for Homemade Chili – A Simple Chili Recipe
It’s that time of year when the weather can be beautiful one day and then turn harsh the next. That’s one of the things we love about fall. We get that taste of colder weather without actually having to say goodbye to summer just yet.
Yes, we do love our fall …. and this simple recipe for homemade chili!
We must admit we’re not ready to let go of summer and we will take every warm day we can get. But on these colder days you will always find us making a big pot of CHILI!
It’s hard to believe that something this delicious can be made in around 20 minutes!
We tend to make chili often in the winter and love to experiment with different chili recipes. What always amazes us is that most recipes call for just one can of kidney beans and a rather small amount of sauce or broth. Well this simple chili recipe has plenty of beans!
Chili is a great way to eat a nutritious meal that is fast and cheap. You can save money by using less ground beef and more beans to make a delicious filling dinner. Add in some cheddar cheese biscuits and you’ve got a great fall meal.
If you are looking for something quick to make for dinner on Halloween, this is just perfect! Start a new tradition this year that your kids will love. Make a big pot of chili and some cheddar cheese biscuits for Halloween night. No matter what you have planned, this is always a warm welcome home before or after a busy night.
So here is one of our favorite recipes that puts SOME BEANS in that chili! Bean it up!
