Easy Chili is aptly named. There’s no muss or fuss in this recipe. The point is to get hot, filling food on the table, pronto! If you baked a batch or potatoes or sweet potatoes early in the week, this is a great topper. Or ladle some over a big bowl of chopped lettuce and top with toasted, tortilla slices for a quick taco bowl. Do you have leftover pasta, quinoa, or rice in the fridge? Here’s your topper! Or just a heaping bowl of hot Easy Chili with some crackers, such as Mary’s Gone Crackers Original Organic Crackers ~ Gluten Free, makes for a hearty meal, in very little time, that you can feel great about.
