A family favorite, the Easiest Chili Ever – Hearty and flavorful dump dinner using seasoned chili beans.
Easiest Chili Ever
Any mamas suffering with me? Today was probably the 10th day of school interrupted in 2019. It’s only February, and we haven’t had a full week of school since December. I would raise a glass, maybe offer a toast with a bottle of an adult beverage, but on top of having all five kids off schedule, I also got Invisalign (clear braces) and am off any glasses of anything, except water… I digress. Yes, I am having my own pitty party of one.
Back to my family who never goes to school. Did you know that snow makes hungry kids turn famished? My children come inside form playing outdoors and they expect a full four course meal. Not only do they want non stop snacks, they want food to warm them up before they head back outside again. I go from making one meal a day (dinner) to making three large meals a day. One of our favorite go to meals for lunch and dinner is chili. The meal fills a crowd (when additional friends come over) and I can multiple ingredients depending on if I have more mouths to feed or if I need left overs.
If you have a favorite Chili recipe, like ours, upgrade your favorite chili with the hearty flavor of BUSH’S® Chili Beans. Simmered in their original chili sauces, made with a special blend of chilies, spices, garlic and onions, these are the beans to perfect your tried and true recipe!

Leftovers are great. My favorite way to eat this the next day is drained and over greens. It makes a perfect salad!
