So its not quite December and we have already had Snow on a few different occasions and even ICE!! The ice even left us without electricity for a few Days!! So… needless to say.. it has been COLD, and when its this cold.. I pull out some of my favorite soup recipes , like creamy vegetable soup, Loaded potato soup pr this recipe for Our Favorite Chili Recipe!
For the longest time I would just throw all this in a pot without measurements… then my husband wanted to make my Chili one day and I had no clue what to tell him on measurements! I ended up having to walk him thru it.. so I decided to write it down so He could do it without me! 🙂 So this is my recipe for our Favorite Chili.. hope you enjoy this in these cold months ahead of us!
I also wanted to note for all of you that have deer in your freezer right now following this years deer season; that venison burger works great for this Chili!
Need more soup recipes?? here are some more favorites…
