Chili. Yum.
There are all sorts of recipes for chili’s available. It’s a long standing recipe that people have made their own for decades.
I never liked chili growing up because I never liked kidney beans. I didn’t realize until much later in life that chili can mean almost anything!
Over the years, I tend to enjoy white chili’s more than red, however, this is one that I always come back to. But then again, I happen to really love black beans. ::giggle::
What is totally awesome about chili is that even though it’s not “high fat” on it’s own, you can make it that way by adding things to it! I can’t imagine eating this chili without a little bit of cheese and sour cream. Yum Yum.
Enjoy!
