Smoky Chili
We really love to experiment with lots of different versions of chili. This one does not disappoint! It has a spicy/smoky flavor that we all thoroughly enjoyed!
This recipe makes about 6 servings.
Notes for this recipe - This recipe is a bit spicy, so just be aware! We served it with Grandmom’s cornbread. Also, we chose to use pinto beans in place of kidney beans (just personal preference).
