Delicious chili!! My family loved the smokiness and the heartiness of this chili. The best we’ve ever had!

Can’t wait to tey this – have never made one of your recipes I didn’t love! I think I’ll add some cubed butternut squash.

I made a few changes – added a can of tomato sauce as the broth was a bit watery . I also added another 1 TBSP of chili powder and 2 TBSP of brown sugar. We also have spiceology maple bourbon spice and added 2 tsps of that. Loved it with the modifications and is added to the rotation!

We were skeptical of the beer and bacon in a chili recipe at first but we actually loved it! We thought it had a great taste and let it simmer for several hours after we ate dinner to have even more flavorful leftover.

Hi Ali, this recipe looks amazing. A question I have for you, what kind of beer do you put in your chili? As there are so many different types. Lagers, Ales. Can’t wait to try it and add to my collection. Thank you!
