The perfect recipe for cooler evenings……and our traditional Halloween night dinner. We love this chili so much, and the great part is, you probably have the ingredients in your pantry and fridge. Serve it with crunchy tortilla chips, or steaming cornbread. The leftovers are even better the next day!
