The Best Chili Recipe for Fall... - Rach Parcell

My very favorite tradition Halloween night is to warm up with my favorite chili before we go out trick-or-treating. It's always a family hit and the perfect meal for Halloween night. After we get back from trick-or-treating we have seconds and watch Harry Potter! Recipe below...

I initially found this chili recipe via Pinterest. It's by Megan of Pip & Ebby and I have linked her recipe here. I still love it but over the years I've added in and taken some things out to better fit my family's liking. See my version blow and the original recipe here.

Prep Time: 20m | Cook Time: 1-2 hours on stove top or 8 hours in slow cooker

3 pounds ground beef or turkey

1 yellow onion, chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 jalapeño peppers, finely chopped (optional)

4 tablespoons chili powder

2 teaspoons cumin

1 teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon oregano

2-3 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon black ground pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

46-oz. can tomato juice

28-oz. can diced tomatoes

15-oz. can tomato sauce

4 tablespoons olive oil

16-oz. can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

16-oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 bag of freezer corn

Shredded cheese

Sour cream

Tortilla Strips

In a large skillet, cook ground meat over medium-high heat until no longer pink. I add a dash of salt, pepper and garlic powder to the meat as it browns. Transfer the meat to a bowl. Drain excess grease from skillet, but do not wipe clean.
