“Bone Appetite” and Happy Halloween! 🎃👻🧡
One of our favorite family traditions is making Halloween Chili!🎃
My girls are all grown up now but they still want the same thing every year.
We used to have so many people come by after trick-or-treating, the house was packed with goblins and ghosts 👻
This chili is so easy to make and you can make it a day ahead.
It actually tastes better to let the flavors sit a day so they blend and brew to the perfect blend of yumminess!
Anticipating a big crowd?
This recipe freezes wonderfully a week or two ahead and just defrost in refrigerator the day before and reheat in heavy stock pot product oven.
En-JOY and keep making those magical memories around your table!
Happy trick-or-treating❣️
🍬🎃🍭👻🍫🧡

Great for a crowd, but beware, goblins may come and devour it all.
