Hearty Southwest Chili
This is my go-to recipe for Sunday night football and tailgates. How could you ever go wrong with a combination like chili and cornbread, plus a cold beer? What I love about making chili is serving it up to a crowd. Set out a big pot along with sour cream, scallions, and cheese on the side and let your friends serve themselves, encouraging seconds and thirds until the pot’s empty.
