Beef and Chorizo Chili

Beef and Chorizo Chili

Anyone who follows me on Instagram knows that I participated in a charity chili cookoff last weekend. It was a great time and helped raise a lot of money to benefit the Exchange Club Parenting Skills Center in Stamford, CT which helps end child abuse. I unfortunately didn’t win the cookoff but received a lot of rave reviews on my chili, a Beef and Chorizo Chili! This was packed with flavor and not an overwhelming amount of spice! A must try!

Hearty Beef Chili

There are some foods that can go with anything. Chili is a great dish because you can always mix it up however you want! You can have chicken, vegetarian, etc. This Hearty Beef Chili is a great version because you can prep it easily and let it cook all day while you do other stuff and it will be ready to chow down when you are! If you want to let this simmer on the stove instead, just follow the instructions and put it in a soup pot on low to cook nice and thick for you. I prefer to top with cheddar cheese and sour cream but you can use whatever you want; jalapeños, use a piece of Honey Cornbread for dipping, anything goes!  Continue reading “Hearty Beef Chili”
