Souper Bowl 2015 Soup & Chili Cook Off Linky party

easy chili recipe copy

Being from Texas, Scott and I absolutely comprehend the importance of the 7th major food group—chili (in case you were curious, the 6th major food group, of course, is TexMex. Duh). Around here chili is no joke—we have cook offs and intense debates on if real chili has beans or not.

In fact, real Texas chili takes hours to make. There’s special pots, secret seasonings and slow roasted meats involved. My dad makes one of the best chilis around with a secret recipe that takes hours and hours to make. While I love to eat chili there are just times when Scott and I are tired, lazy and just want a chili-like meal to eat. So we came up with this little faux chili recipe we dubbed Cheater Chili. Because it feels like we are cheating when we make it.

Since it’s Cheater Chili we used a food processor to chop up the onions, garlic, mushrooms and squash. The food processor makes them extra tiny so you can hardly taste the veggies. 😉 Sneaky, sneaky.

So, dear state of Texas, please excuse me and don’t disown me, but this is what we’re eating tonight. It’s delicious, fairly healthy and only takes 30 minutes or so to throw together. The leftovers are fantastic and you can serve with your choice of rice, potatoes, fritos or just on it’s own. You can also freeze this meal, or even make it in a crock pot (just cook meat first, then add all ingredients to the crockpot with a cup of water and cook on low for eight hours). It’s the perfect winter comfort food.

By the way—I’m on Team Chili with Beans. Sorry dad!
