When the weather starts to get a bit chilly (pun intended), I make chili! I recall my mom making chili from different types, or a combination of proteins that she would actually grind herself. A combination of dried herbs, spices, fresh vegetables and pastes were ingredients to choose as options. I prefer lean ground beef sirloin or chuck, but she would add venison and pork to enhance the flavor. I enjoy all of the ingredients packed in this spicy, thick version my mother and I created!
Below is my recipe for Beef Chili! Sure to be the perfect meal while you cheer on your favorite teams!
