10 Utterly Unique Chili Recipes
The chill is in the air and that just gets me thinking about all the things I love about fall: pumpkins, apple picking, Uggs, more television shows to get addicted to and chili. I’m a sucker for a delicious bowl of chili.
I know fall doesn’t officially start for another week, but I am already in the mood for the warm seasonal flavors of autumn’s finest meal. It screams lazy Sunday and football season. Oh, and it screams crock pot which is the equivalent to night after night of easy meals. I’m not complaining.
Clearly the logical thing to do is incessantly pursue the web looking for the best of the best in chili recipes so that I am prepared for my first official fall feast. So far it has just lead to virtual drool spots and tummy growling. Thought I would share the feeling with this chili round-up.
