Sweet Chili

This Sweet Chili has tons of flavor and takes very little work. Sweet and smokey flavors made with onions, peppers, ground beef, kidney beans, hot sauce, spices and more.Sweet Chili is a quick meal, and very delicious.

It is officially chili season around here. I am pretty sure eating chili or having a chili cook off is a tradition associated with Fall in all parts of the US. Am I right?

A big pot of sweet chili! The best way to welcome in Fall.

Well, I hate to buck tradition, but we are just not chili lovers over here.

I know, I know…maybe that is because I have not tried your chili recipe. It is the world’s best…right? I mean, c’mon guys, not everyone can have the world’s best chili. It is like in Elf where the coffee shop claims to have the best coffee. It just isn’t true. Most of the time it is subpar, or even disappointing.

It is all about the expectations, right? When you go to a movie without expectations you enjoy it. But if you hear it is so amazing, you inevitably find it be less than great! I swear this is a real thing. Not just me. Or maybe it is just me. But the thing is this, I really don’t love chili in general, so even though everyone under the sun has the best chili recipe ever, it is still chili. And therefore, not going to be my favorite.

Since we are just not big chili eaters, to date I have never posted a chili recipe on the blog. I love Taco Soup and will eat that all day long, so not sure what it is about chili.

Sweet Chili is the perfect Fall comfort food.

Corn Bread And Chili Go Hand In Hand

However, the other day I posted corn bread. An amazing cheddar jalapeno cornbread. And well, since cornbread and chili just seem to go hand in hand, I thought it only right that I make chili. I looked over all the “BEST EVER” recipes out there, and none of them caught my fancy. So instead, I opted for a Sweet Chili.

Sweet Chili and corn bread

This Sweet Chili has a sweet flavor, and a smokey undertone. I think that is what made it different enough I could get my kids to try it. And yummy enough that I did not mind leftovers two days in a row. This Sweet Chili recipe makes a lot, so keep that in mind. But it freezes really well, and is great for sharing, so there is that too!

Anyway, Sweet Chili has a lot of ingredients, and it is best if it can simmer for a while to let all the flavors meld, so make it a day ahead if you have the time, if not, give it at least 20 minutes to half an hour to simmer.  It’s fun to serve Sweet Chili in mugs and these CorningWare mugs have a vent-able lid and can be used in the microwave or the oven.
