Andrews Chili Recipe

 

Fall weather always makes us want to have chili around the house. It is that comfort food that makes your belly so happy. At least around here in the Offer household. Every year, Andrew (my husband) will make us some chili and we will eat on it a few times throughout that week. When Andrew told me last week that he was going to be making Chili on Sunday, I was jumping up and down for joy. Okay, maybe not really but I was pretty stoked. Now, I will be honest here and tell you that our chili does have beans in it. Which is pretty funny actually, because I do not like beans at all except in chili and the occasional Taco Bell burrito. So, I guess that means I do like beans, huh? Things that make you go hmmmm……

Anyways, our chili does have beans in it, so if you are a true Texas chili lover, do not judge us. So, if you do not have a good chili recipe and are in the search for one, do yourself a favor and check this one out. If you do not like it, do not tell Andrew, because it might hurt his feelings. However, I am sure you would enjoy it just as much as we do. Oh yeah, and the twins loved it too. WIN!
