Cook-Off Chili

Entertaining | October 28, 2014 | By

I have been making this chili for awhile now and like I said in my post Cook-Off Chili for Two, everyone always asks for the recipe, my family especially!  I get called or emailed several times when fall kicks in with family asking for the recipe when I’ve given it to them a dozen times!  They are always just tossing the email that had the recipe or lost the paper they wrote it down on so when I said I was starting a food blog, the first thing they all said was, PLEASE put that chili recipe up so I can just go to your site and get it whenever I want!  Hahaha!  That makes me laugh!  So…here it is!  I think I might actually miss getting those email requests and phone calls now! 

Cook Off Chili

This recipe serves 6-8, but you can easily double it if you’re hosting a party and need to feed a crowd, just use a big pot!  Chili is such an effortless way to entertain.  Put everything out and let everyone help themselves and put whatever they want on top.  Some topping options are shredded Cheddar cheese, sour cream, chopped onion, chopped jalapeno, sliced ripe olives.  Serve it with tortilla chips or even rice or elbow macaroni noodles!
