It’s Football Season, and That Means Chili Season in My House!
As the air turns crisp and the sound of football fills the house, it can only mean one thing—chili season has arrived! 🏈🍲 There’s nothing quite like a big, hearty pot of chili simmering away on the stove while the game is on. What I love most about making chili is how versatile it is. There are so many varieties, and honestly, they’re all my favorites!
The beauty of chili is that you can load it with whatever you have on hand, making it the ultimate customizable dish. Change up the beans—pinto, black, kidney, or even chickpeas for something a little different. Vary the types of peppers depending on how much heat you’re craving. And don’t forget the veggies—everything from zucchini to corn can find a home in your chili pot!

Chili is also perfect for batch cooking. All my chili recipes freeze well for up to 3 months, so why not double up and freeze a few portions? You’ll never again be without a quick, filling, and hearty meal for those busy nights or lazy weekends. Just thaw and reheat!
Whether you like it mild or spicy, bean-heavy or veggie-loaded, chili is the ultimate cozy dish for game-day. So grab a bowl, load it with your favorite toppings, and enjoy the perfect match-up—football and chili!
