Best-Ever Chili

photo by:kraft

What makes this chili best-ever is a toss-up. The salsa? The cheese? That creamy dollop of sour cream? The fact that it's low-cal and low-fat? Whatever. Best-ever.

I just made this today with cornbread and it was delicious! I tweaked it a little and used a different medium chunky salsa, and a can of chopped tomatoes! I also added a little cumin, garlic powder and more chili power. I also used ground turkey! This will be my go to chili recipe because it's so easy and so yummy!

Just made this recipe as is. It is good, but not exactly what I expected. I like my chili with a little bit more broth. Although I will make it again, next time I won't drain the beans.

I did 1 pound of ground beef and next time I will have less tomatoes. I didn't put in beans either. It was delicious! I will make this again! Super simple and quick. Don't forget your cornbread on the side!

This is our go-to chili recipe. It is AWESOME and so easy. The flavors are right on, the salsa is a great addition, as is the corn. We make this chili at least once a month. It's a favorite!
