Recipe Exchange–Chili

I love chili. Love it, love it, love it. So when I got this recipe in the What’s Cooking? Fall Recipe Swap, I was really happy. Though I definitely have my favorite chili recipe, I’m always up for trying new ones. Plus, this one seemed to be very Ellie Krieger-esque and I have really enjoyed all of her recipes.

This recipe was good. From reading the recipe, I could tell it wouldn’t be as highly spiced as I would normally like, but I wanted to stay true to the recipe so I could get a real sense of it. As I said, it was good. My mom and I definitely enjoyed it. My mom made the comment that it would be really great with macaroni, which isn’t usually how we eat our chili, but she’s right. I will absolutely make this recipe again, but as chili mac.

Thank you to the fabulous Nestie who put this recipe in!
