Homemade Chili

A wonderfully satisfying meal during the chilly fall and winter months, homemade chili can nourish the body and bring the family together. From slightly spicy to 5 alarm chili, this meal is what cooking contests are made of!

Actually, I’ve won two of our family chili contests over the last 4 years. Once with my white chicken chili, and last fall with a roasted garlic and caramelized onion version using shredded beef.

Our basic recipe feeds our family well, offering enough spice for the adults but not to warm for the children. If you like a bit more spice, try a hotter pepper than Anaheim, like jalapenos, or sprinkle in some red pepper flakes.
