This award winning chili has been my go to recipe for years, and honestly, it's so simple that anyone can make it. Ground beef or turkey gets simmered with fresh peppers, onions, and jalapenos along with a perfect blend of spices that just work together beautifully. What I love most is that it's incredibly budget friendly and comes together in just two hours of mostly hands off cooking time. The cumin and chili powder give it that deep, complex flavor that tastes like it took all day, but the prep is under fifteen minutes. Plus, those fresh peppers are packed with vitamin C, which is great for boosting your immune system. This chili has won me compliments at every potluck and dinner party, and I'm excited to finally share it with you.
