Easy and Delicious Chili

There are a bazillion ways to make chili. Here’s Mine.

Here is my family’s favorite.

We call it “Sayler Chili”.

This recipe is delicious, freezable, and so easy an 8 year old can make it with a little help.

 Before you have a heart attack. Confession time.

I do use a chili kit.

I learned this trick from my mom. She always had her favorite kit of spices, so I learned this speed trick from her.

My current favorite kit is this one by Carroll Shelby’s.

I like it because they individually package each of the spices inside. That means I can add more or less of each of the spices.

I used to be afraid to add all of the cayenne pepper, but I have come to love this one just the way they have it packaged!.

Last secret.
Beans.

Not everyone thinks chili is true chili if it has beans. I understand that.
But this is my chili, with my name, so it will have beans.

(For
those of you with lots of kids like me, beans are a filler. Tomatoes
are fillers. chili without beans is expensive if you are feeding 5
boys!!! So I use beans. Lots of beans!)

 This chili is extrememly forgiving.

Simply throw in 2-4 cans of whatever your favorite beans are at the moment.

I
came up with our current favorite combination because I was out of the
beans I usually have on hand. It was such a hit that I had to swear an
oath that I wouldn’t change this recipe!

I use:
Dark kidney beans
Bush’s grillin’ beans (bourbon and brown sugar)
and those weird looking Ranch Style Beans.

Do not panic when you open the Ranch beans!
They look kinda gross, but they are delicious!

Enjoy!
