Easy Homemade Chili Recipe
**This is an updated post — updated October 2014**
My husband loves chili! Every time I make a big pot of chili he claims he can make it better; however, I’ve asked all of his family members and no one can vouch for him. No one has ever seen him make chili as a kid nor have they tried it. So until he actually makes a pot I will not believe that his chili is better than mine! Updated, four years later and he has still yet to make his famous chili for me.

Easy Homemade Chili Recipe
On day s when I’m pressed for time I will be the first to admit that I make chili with a seasoning packet. However, if I decide to make a big bowl of this easy homemade chili and don’t have a seasoning packet on hand I turn to my pantry where I can find all the seasonings on hand. It’s much more cost effective and you control what is in said seasoning packet.

Substitute ground chicken or turkey to lighten the calorie load. There's so much flavor here the poultry will taste just as good as beef.

    There must be a typo. No way would anyone want to add the “juice” from cans of kidney beans!

      Hi Ava, nope not a typo. That’s how I’ve always made chili. However, if you don’t feel comfortable with add the entire contents from the can, feel free to rinse and drain the beans then add it into the chili.
