quick beef chili recipe
To me a good hearty chili has 2 things. Meat and beans. That was until I went to a chili cook off and discovered beanless chili. Obviously I was sheltered and forgot about chili dogs. We love slow cooker chili, but sometimes you need a quick chili recipe to make dinner fast.
What sides go with chili? We serve it with crackers and cornbread. I love it when the cornbread is still warm and you add a little butter and dunk it in the chili.
the perfect sweet cast iron corn bread
You can also sprinkle some cheese on top and you have a delicious twist.

Do you know of any vegetarian chili recipes?
You could make this recipe vegetarian, just don’t add the meat and add carrots, corn and any of your favorite veggies.
