S & J’s Chili

Dec 31, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

It’s starting to feel like Fall, which means it’s time for soups and chili! People tend to have very strong opinions about chili – I get it, I mean, I’m from Texas for goodness sake.

Now, this chili does have beans in it (a Texas faux pas), but it also has a bit of sugar, so hopefully no one shows up at my door with pitchforks. This simple chili is hearty and seasoned with just enough spice. It’s a favorite at our house. Y’all let me know what you think!
