Quick Pantry Chili

A simmering pot of chili is one of the most welcoming sights after a long day outdoors. This recipe is designed for ease and uses simple pantry staples to build a deep and savory flavor profile in minutes. It is a hearty dish that provides warmth and sustenance without requiring hours of labor over the stove.

To complete the meal we suggest serving this alongside our Golden Cheddar Cornmeal Loaves or our Old Fashioned Cornmeal Drops. The sweetness of the cornmeal is the perfect companion to the savory spices in the bowl.
