What Makes a Great Chili?
There are so many delicious chili recipes that picking just one as my favorite would be nearly impossible.
The chili I grew up with, a hearty ground beef version with fresh celery, onions, sauce, spices, and beans was always my favorite and I actually thought it was the only way to make chili until I got older and started playing around with recipes. Tweaking. Adding. Subtracting. Substituting.
The one common component of all great chili recipes is the use of quality ingredients and that’s why I choose BUSH’S® Chili Beans no matter what kind of chili I make.
BUFFALO CHICKEN CHILI
Recently, I wanted to make something a little different but something that wouldn’t take a lot of prep time. I came across a recipe for Buffalo Chicken Chili, changed it up a bit to save time, and absolutely loved how it turned out and so did my family!
I started with a rotisserie chicken, it doesn’t get much easier than this and I used BUSH’S Mild Kidney Chili Beans plus a few other basic ingredients.
I didn’t need to worry about pulling out and measuring spices, the BUSH’S Chili Beans are already flavored.
I bought the rotisserie chicken the day before and refrigerated it until I was ready to use it….hence the less than appealing appearance BUT it does make it much easier to pull the meat off for recipes.
