Chili has always been one of those recipes that gets gobbled up quickly at my house- thankfully, everyone is happy when it is on the menu.  Originally, I made chili that was light on spice and heavy on beans when the kids were little.  Now they have grown into a heartier version with lots of beef and beans.  I think it is because they really like the chili they get when they are snow skiing out west.  With that in mind, my husband altered our recipe to make it more “western”.  It’s always a hit, and so I wanted to pass it along to you for the cooler months.  I hope this makes dinner time easier for you and that you and your family enjoy every bite! P.S. I like my chili with a lot of cheese! Haha!  What do you like with chili?
