YES.

There are so many things that are YES about this meal.  1) It’s SO easy. 2) It takes just minutes to prepare. 3) It’s SO easy.  4) It’s SO easy!  Aren’t those the best kinds of meals?  Quick, easy, and delicious?  Let me be clear.  The prep is quick… But the cooking is sloooooooooow.  Throw everything in the pot in the morning, and come dinner time you’ve got yourself a comfy, cozy, home-cooked meal that’s full of flavor and ready for toppings.

Because isn’t chili all about the toppings anyway?  The thing is, this chili doesn’t even need any toppings! It’s perfectly delicious just as is. I’ve eaten many a bowls of this plain, mainly because I just couldn’t wait one second longer to stuff my face.

Look at those beautiful fall colors! By that way, I haven’t complained in the last couple of posts about how miserable the weather still is here.  It’s still in the 90’s people!! UGH.  I’m so angry about it.  I check that little weather app at least ten times a day, hoping and wishing for that little rain cloud picture, or even just a number lower than 8!!  You’re killin’ me Smalls! (Sandlot style)

My family thinks I’m crazy for making chili in this heat.  But guess what family?  YOU’RE CRAZY!!

Ok, maybe I’m crazy.  This heat is making me crazy!  Alright, I’m done complaining.  For now.

The good news?  Look at all the goodness packed into this chili!  Tastes good, AND good for you! Can’t beat that!
