Ultimate Tailgate Chili

Submitted by Chef #514702

"No more long, detailed and complicated chili recipes for me. This one is simply delicious! Yesterday we had surprise guests for a pre-season game. I couldn't find a recipe online that fit the bill so I whipped up this chili to feed a crowd and it was a hit. Super easy with canned ingredients I had in my pantry. You can adjust accordingly to feed less people or use paprika instead of chili powder for less heat. Perfect with cornbread or on hot dogs! Enjoy, I look forward to hearing how other foodies like this chili. :)"

Delicious recipe and quick to make! Although I used a slow cooker for the heck of it. I swapped out one of the cans of ranch (pinto) beans for red kidney because I like the texture. Also, couldn't find one with jalapeños, so I used plain beans. Would've preferred adding some fresh green pepper, but it was fine without it. I made cornbread of course, because I can't have chili without it! Also added sour cream, a blend of Mexican cheeses and the corn chips! So good on a chilly night!
