As the weather transitions to colder temperatures, I find myself constantly craving a big bowl of steaming soup. This chili recipe is great for those cold winter months when you just want something toasty to heat you back up. This pairs wonderfully with cornbread or rolls and can be frozen to use later in the season. I’d recommend adding extra chili powder if you prefer more of a kick.
