Is there anything better than a bowl of warm, tasty chili on a chilly (yep, I went there) day? Other than a one-way ticket to Costa Rica, there aren’t too many other things that will warm me up inside and out than this!

Chili is unbelievably easy to make – basically, all you have to do is throw a few ingredients together in a pot, let it simmer, and impress all of your friends when they come over for Sunday Funday (and it tastes great as part of this cheesy chili dip!). That’s it. No crazy skills needed, no hard-to-find ingredients. I like to top mine with cheese, sour cream and some toasty buttered buns/bread for the perfect finish.
I wanted to share an easy, tasty chili recipe that anyone can pull off. Feel free to add in any extra ingredients (or remove any that you don’t like) and adjust your spice level as needed. That’s it! Whip up a batch of this tasty chili this weekend and let me know how you like to eat yours in the comments below!
