Is there anything better than smelling a delicious warm meal on a cozy fall day? Snuggling up in your favorite oversized blanket with a bowl of hot chili in tow? I don’t think so!
I’m not so much of a fall person because I just can’t get behind the cold weather that’s looming. However, the fall foods help me get through…chilis, soups, pumpkin spice and everything cinnamon apple flavored make the cold months bearable.

Crockpot or Stovetop?
Throwing a bunch of ingredients into a crockpot, walking away and wowing your husband later with a delicious meal that you hardly worked on is my kind of day. BUT if you don’t have a crockpot or didn’t plan ahead, you can certainly make this chili on the stovetop as well.
Cook the diced onions and jalapeño together over medium heat. Add in all other ingredients and bring the chili to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer and let it rest for 30-45 minutes or until chili is hot.
