I, like many other Americans, needed to take the day off yesterday. I was tired physically and emotionally. So, it was a day of minimal news and internet. We shopped, we ate, and we rested. We are refreshed.
This chili is perfect for these days. You can make it in a slow cooker or on a stove top. Up to you but I love the smell of the cooking chili during the day.
Verdict: My family loves this. It is hearty and warming on those cool fall evenings. You can top it with cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips, or even Fritos.
I served this with a side of our Sweet Potato Bread (click for link to recipe).
