Hey peoples! If you’re anything like me, you just loove a huge bowl full of pipping hot savory goodness for dinner on a cool night. This is my go to recipe for that kind of comforting meal. My homemade chili is soooo flavorful everyone will rave about it and be asking for seconds in no time! It is also EXTREMELY easy! With a few store bought ingredients you can have this baby on the dinner table in under 30 minutes if you wish, or you can let it simmer all day and it will just keep getting better and better! It’s also one of those dishes that gets better in the fridge the longer it sits so it’s a win-win in all situations!

These are by far better than anything you can get at a restaurant. Or, any restaurant that I have had them at, that is. Normally when I order them they end up coming out well, flavorless. Even at one of my favorite southern restaurants, Cracker Barrel where you would think they would nail this one. Now, no offense to any of you’s that like this sorta thing, it just isn’t what I fancy.
