Our "Souper October" month continues with week #2. Last week I started with a classic, Creamy Chicken Soup, so this week I decided to throw you a curve ball with a twist in a spicy favorite. Too often chili is just too spicy for the littlest ones in our family or for some mild loving family members in the bunch, and this version is a fantastic one to make as a 2nd chili option for them.
A few ingredients may surprise you, (I call it V-8 Chili) but trust me, this chili is delicious, and will have people coming back for more! I have had it in my files forever, someone told me once they think it may be an old pampered chef recipe, but I've never been to one of those parties, so I don't know for sure. All I know is.. It's a great chili recipe to keep on hand!
Jan's tip: totally feel free to play around with the which meats you use and the amount of seasonings, but I would not decrease the liquids as they are needed for the rice to cook properly.
