Perfect for those post-holiday meals! - Thickness: no watery chili allowed! This hearty, rich chili is loaded with meat for a satisfying meal. After all, chili is not a soup, so it shouldn’t be thinned with too much broth. - Easy: the dish comes together quickly and easily on the stovetop with minimal effort. You don’t need all day to cook it in a slow cooker, and you don’t need any fancy equipment like an Instant Pot. Just grab a good ole’ Dutch oven and whip up a batch in no time. - Make-ahead and freezer-friendly: this meal just gets better as it sits and the flavors come together, so you can simmer a pot on the weekend and enjoy a warm, homemade meal on your busiest weeknights.
