    With the rogue snow this morning, I wanted an easy dinner that I could make that would warm us up and we could enjoy leftovers. Easy one pot chili was a no brainer, and with the exception of the ground beef, I already had everything on hand. With the exception of the spices and olive oil, I used all organic ingredients, but you certainly don't have to.

    I have an amazing stainless steel stock pot that I love for chilis and soups, and it was perfect for this recipe.

      I love chili! I haven't tried using vinegar in there but it definitely sounds like it'd be a great addition!

      This is one of my favorite fall/winter dinners. I use deer meat instead of hamburger to cut down on the fat and it is so good. My stockpot is one of my favorite kitchen utensils I use it for so many different things,

      This sounds really good and seems quite easy to make. I'll have to try this one in replacement of my usual go-to chili to see how it compares.
