20 Hearty Chili Recipes to Put on Repeat During the Colder Months
Is there anything more comforting?
Once the temperatures drop, it’s all about cozy soup recipes, casseroles, and more food that makes you feel warm inside. But one comfort food in particular is the ultimate crowd-pleaser: chili! Whether it’s for Sunday supper or a game day menu, you never need an excuse to simmer up a pot of chili. Choose from chilis made with big chunks of beef, ground turkey, or even leftover rotisserie chicken. (And, don’t tell Ladd Drummond, but we’ve also included a few vegetarian chilis, too!) If hearty family meals are what you’re after, then you’ll definitely want to give these comforting chilis a try.
So, how do you know which chili recipe to choose? Some people have strong opinions about their chili. (Say, should chili have beans or no beans?) Meanwhile, others will find that they're willing to try all different kinds of chili depending on the night. For instance, you can go with a meaty Texas-style chili, a leaner turkey chili, or a Cincinnati chili served over a plate of spaghetti. Rushing to get dinner on the table fast? Try the instant pot chili or the chili mac—it's ready in just 30 minutes! No matter which chili recipe you choose, just be sure to whip up a batch of Ree Drummond's skillet cornbread to serve on the side!
