Fall is such a delicious time of the year! One of the most delicious reasons why we say that...Chili Season! On "chilly" Fall, and even Winter, evenings, it's great to warm up with a bowl of tasty chili. Or maybe a delightful chili-topped baked potato. Yummy! Here's one of my family's favorite chili recipes. I'll often double the recipe and freeze some for later! (The picture below is actually a batch I cooked up early in the season and thawed the other day to heat and enjoy.) This chili is super easy to make and warms up great! Be sure to stock up on some delicious Eck Agriculture ground beef to make your favorite chili (or other) recipes throughout the Fall and Winter.
