You are here: Home / Beans and Legumes / Easy Chili Easy Chili September 29, 2010 by Terri @ that's some good cookin' 5 Comments At last I am posting this week. This is my very busy week at work, so I have had to do everything in stages. For instance, I made this chili and the accompanying cornbread yesterday, but didn’t have time to finish the photographing and editing before I went to work. So, today I finished things up and that, my dears, is why I am posting! Good thing I love my job. / This chili recipe is one that has evolved over the years. I am not sure that I had ever made chili twice the same way until I finally wrote this recipe down. Even so, I accidentally made it with too much chipotle today and didn’t know I had done it until I was eating it at the end of work tonight. It was a little too warm even for me. I don’t know what Honey Buns thought of it, but I’m suspecting that his first bite was a bit of a surprise. Oops. / One thing that I can tell you for sure, though, use the chipotle chili powder. It gives such a wonderful smoky flavor to the chili. As I have said before in other recipes, you can find chipotle chili powder in the spice section of your grocery store and it is made by McCormick. I have really become a fan of this product. And one more thing. Yes, this chili recipe has beans. I like beans so I use them. Some chili purists use beef chunks only and certainly that style of chili has its place. However, I like chili made with beans because I get tired of chomping on all beef. That’s just the way it is with me…a little beef, some beans, a bit of tomato…and corn bread as a nice complement.
