This is our family chili recipe. It’s simple. It’s so good. And it’s always a major crowd pleaser. I don’t want to toot my own horn, but toot toot. This chili recipe won a chili contest…at my husband’s work…against like 4 others. But I am taking that win. I am proud.

Seriously though, this is a really good chili. I am not a major spicy fan so I tend to make it more mild and then Dave will add some spice straight to the bowl. It also has a sweet secret ingredient and you won’t be shocked to know that it’s sugar. A little bit of the sweet stuff to balance the savory and the spice. It’s so perfect!

Filled with tons of beef, tomatoes and beans. Then top it with your favorite stuff. My personal choices are cheese and Fritos. Gotta have the Fritos. Plus, if you’re in Nebraska don’t forget the Cinnamon Rolls.
