It’s getting cold outside and that means it’s time for chili. I love making this because it’s all made in one pan and I always make enough to have left overs. It requires few ingredients and can be thrown together in a hurry! I also usually have all the ingredients in my home without having to go to the store in the cold!
My kids love this chili and they love eating it with our favorite almond flour crackers from Simple Mills. They are gluten free and made with nutrient dense ingredients. Winning!
