Recipe Description

I like to think of myself as a chili connoisseur. Some of my friends even refer to me as a chili snob (jokingly, I hope!) I simply love the stuff – I make it a lot and I know a good Chili recipe when I see one. What I love about this chili recipe is that it has potatoes which makes it super filling and wholesome. Whenever I make this, I prepare a big batch and I bring the leftovers for lunch for a few days. It makes a really hearty and wholesome lunch.

For this chili, I fry off some ground beef and onions. Then I add tomatoes, kidney beans, potatoes, chili powder, salt and water and allow it to simmer for about half an hour. It’s so quick and easy! If I don’t have any kidney beans, I substitute them with black beans and that’s what is so great about this chili – it’s versatile and very easy to adapt. If you prefer milder food, simply reduce the amount of chili powder to suit your taste.

To make Chili, you will need the following ingredients:
