Eema’s Easy Chili

This is so easy to make… I don’t know why I haven’t posted the recipe sooner, but here it is!

You could just add the meat, beans, and tomatoes for a basic chili, but the seasoning really does make it so much better! Using fresh onion and garlic, add a little something special, as well as using the bacon to add flavor. You could even add a can of corn for a little extra crunch.

This goes especially well with Hoe Cakes, Cornbread, or even Garlic Bread and a side of rice. It would also make a great topping on baked potatoes or baked sweet potatoes… the possibilities are endless! You can even leave the beans out and make this for hot dogs or add it to your leftover macaroni and cheese to make chili mac-n-cheese!

When my older kids were younger, we would often turn this into ‘Cowboy Chili’ to use up any leftovers we had in the fridge! We would add bologna, ham, or even hot dogs to the meat or in place of the meat, and then throw in any leftover veggies to cook down with the beans… it always turned out delicious!
