Chili Night
Chili night is pretty big in our house. It’s one of the few meals every single member of my family not only eats, but devours. I even had to get a bigger crockpot to accommodate a double batch, just so we can enjoy leftovers.
I love that this recipe uses minimal ingredients, making it super quick to throw together and inexpensive. We love adding it to our meal plan, almost weekly, in the colder months. It is such a comforting, delicious meal!
