Sweet & Spicy Chili

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Chili.  Yup, another chili recipe.

Why?  Because I personally enjoy this recipe I’ve come up with.  And you might too I figured.

I like sizable chunks, no kidney beans, and a bit of bite soothed with some sweetness.

Feel free to give this recipe a try the next time your family is in the mood for a good ole bowl of comfort!

Oh, and while there is a lot of debate around what (if anything) to serve with your chili, I’ll argue day after day that a few hunks of corn bread dunked into it take a good bowl of chili from a good meal to an AMAZING MEAL!  So don’t forget to whip up a batch of your favorite corn bread to go with it.  Personally – I am loving the Trader Joes gluten free corn bread mix.  But I’ve also made it from scratch in the past and that ranks up there as a favorite as well.
