Tasty Tuesday: Southwestern Chili

With the temperature slowly lowering in NE Ohio, I have declared it to be Chili weather. (Not to be confused with chilly weather, even though it is.) But after years of making Chili the way my mom does, I decided it was time to really experiment. 

Of course this Southwestern Chili isn't that far off from my mom's recipe, but that's quite OK with me! (Baby steps, right?)


Of course who could forget the cornbread! Especially when you can make Easy Cinnamon Sugar Cornbread out of it to snack on later.

  9. Oh yeah! Love chili! Tip. If you haven't tried it...try buying actual chili meat. It made a HUGE difference in the taste of my chili. People cannot get enough of it. You can't always find it with the regular meat, but they often have it at the meat counter.
