Okay, so the weather is cooler and the leaves are changing. That can mean only one thing… It’s fall! Fall brings football, the World Series, Halloween, and the need for something warm to eat. For me personally, nothing beats a big bowl of chili. Opening a can of Hormel doesn’t do it for me. No, I want something more. But I don’t want to spend hours slaving to cook something tasty. I also don’t want to pollute my body with a bunch of crap either.
Enter my Easy Chili recipe. It really is easy to make and takes about 20 minutes to assemble.
