It’s no secret that I love Fall. I mean really, really love it! I mean, I’ve had my mantel decked out since the end of August. No lie. See, I told you I loved Fall! 🙂 And I recently filled my home with all things Autumn and did a whole house tour!

When I think of this wonderful season my mind often wanders to images of thick socks, beautifully colored leaves, cozy blankets, watching football together with friends and family, and eating yummy chili … topped with cheese and sour cream. Scrumptious!

Simple and Hearty Chili

I wanted to share my family’s chili recipe with you today, you know in case you need something delicious to eat. I love making this when I’m having a party at my house, or my family is together for the holidays.

Family-Friendly Chili Recipe

It’s always such a huge hit and I get a lot of compliments on how yummy it is. I think the green chilies and hot sauce add a little kick without making it too hot.

This would be an easy recipe to cut in half if you have a small family. But even though I only have three people in my family,  I always make the large recipe and eat leftovers or freeze them for a quick dinner later on in the week {or month}.

Easy-to-freeze Chili Recipe

I love being able to pull dinner out of the freezer and have it ready to go in minutes!

Hope you have a fabulous weekend! I’m in a dear friend’s wedding this evening. I love a good wedding! See you on Monday!!

      Hi Krista, you add water to the meat mixture, until the water covers it. Then simmer it for an hour to let the meat and spices cook together. Hope this helps! 🙂

      xo, Laura

    I am all about chili right now, because it’s so cold here in NW PA and I love throwing things in a crockpot and having something wonderful to eat at the end of the day. Thanks for sharing at the Pinworthy Project Party!

    This looks fantastic! I made chili this week, very similar to this one, which reminds me of the chili my dad used to make. Mmmmm, cold weather foods!

    A perfect fall recipe, we are only a family of 3 as well so freezing portions is a great idea. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

    This looks like a must add to my recipe box! Thank you! Next month on our website, we are talking about things we consider “Cozy” and chili certainly fits the bill. We just hosted a soup swap party that we will feature on our blog next week and chili was the main course. 🙂

      Ooohh, yes! Chili does sound cozy, doesn’t it? Right up there with bundled up by the fire. 🙂 Although where I am it was almost 80 degrees today. So having to think cold thoughts in order to enjoy cozy this week. 🙂
