Chili for Non-Chili Lovers
Not going to lie, I am not a huge Chili fan. I like the idea of chili, but the beans and excessive chili powder just aren’t my thing. Enter this chili. It is a bean-less chili with a tolerable amount of chili powder. A baby chili, if you will. Sure, some chili fans will say this isn’t chili, but I love it. David is also not a huge bean fan so he also loves it. As noted in the title, the is the chili for people who don’t like chili! I like to serve this with my sweet cornbread or some homemade french bread. This freezes well, but freeze without the noodles!

I do love a real chili but I suspect I would also love this! And the cornbread pumpkins are sooo adorable

Thanks Holly! I think you would love this! You might not consider it chili, per say, but it is delicious nonetheless!
