One of my favorite parts of Fall and Winter are the cold days where you just want to curl up on the couch with a hot bowl of chili, watching your favorite movie.
Well folks, it’s still summer weather here in California but I couldn’t wait another second to make my favorite batch of chili. I don’t care if people are still heading to the beach on the weekends, I’m pretending it’s snowing outside.
The truth is, I never use a recipe when I make chili. I just throw everything into a pot and top it with cheese. Cooking doesn’t have to be complicated and recipes don’t need to be followed to a T. I promise.
This time I wrote my recipe down for you. You’re welcome.
