Chili is such a classic cold weather hearty meal, and this version comes together pretty quickly and makes a lot of food. Mix in some elbow noodles or rice if you want to bulk it up even more. Nothing beats the smell of coming home and smelling fresh chili just waiting for you for dinner. Chili pairs so well with cornbread, so check out my Cheesy Protein Cornbread for a high protein and delicious side dish! You can also check out any of my other soups and stews!
