Baby, it's getting cold outside! If you like meaty, hearty chili that has just enough heat to make the back of your throat tickle, then this recipe is for you. The spices are a blend of garlic, cumin, salt & pepper, chili powder and just a touch of red pepper flakes, to keep you on your toes.

I've made chili more times than I can count but I don't particularly follow a recipe - sometimes it depends what's in my pantry or fridge. Recently our kids told me they would like an actual recipe so they can make my chili someday. They're either plotting my demise or hoping for an allowance raise, I'm not sure which...
Anyway, because I'm such a nice mom, this week when I was cooking a huge pot of chili, I documented my recipe. I'm sharing my secret recipe with the world here, because as my husband constantly reminds our toddlers, "sharing is caring".
Can you guess what's for lunch in the field today??
Oh, and my favorite three words apply to this recipe - "It freezes beautifully!"
If you like this, please share!
Made with love,
