Now as an adult, every Halloween I still find myself making this exact recipe. I have had many other chili recipes in my life, but nothing has ever compared to Mama’s chili that would be cooking in the crock pot at home after a cold day. This chili recipe is the perfect mix of hearty and spice. I will forever think of mom’s chili when dinner rolls around Halloween night.

I know for me reading the comments on certain recipes is the make or break moment whether I’m going to give a recipe a try. I noticed this recipe didn’t have any comments, but I’ve been in the hunt for the perfect chili and decided to try this one because it was so simple. Let me just tell you it us amazing!! We had it for the first time last night. It makes quite a bit so we had extended family over and my mom asked me to send her the recipe, mind you she’s been making a different recipe for several years and liked this one better. The chili isn’t too smokey or almost bitter like some, it is a little sweet and haa a great flavor!
Kristen,
