We love many different variations of chili. These were some of the ingredients from the Ready, Set, Cook game that reminded me of chili. I used lots of onion to add a kick of flavor and offset the lack of chili powder. (And all those onion made me cry.) I specifically used salsa with corn and black beans to make it more "chili-esque"!
