When the weather begins cooling down outside, it means our chili pot is warming up inside. I’m a big fan of chilis and stews, not only because they are so satisfying and the perfect comfort food, but because usually they are very simple to put together. The smell of a big pot of chili wafting through our home help it feel all warm and cozy. Plus, chili is a cinch to make and serve for large groups, especially for a big game!

Our pantry is always stocked with chili and stew ingredients: a selection of Bush’s Beans, canned tomatoes, warm spices, broths, and basic veggies like carrots, potato, and celery. We always know that a pot of chili or stew can be put together fairly quickly to mingle away creating a comforting meal to end our day.

Buffalo Chicken Chili is one we have enjoyed making over and over again. It’s quick to put together and a nice twist on the classic chili. Once I made a pot of this chili before heading out of town, so leftovers could be saved for my family to enjoy while I was gone. I should have gone ahead and made a double batch, because there was not much leftover after the first serving.
