Lamb Chili

Meaty, rich, and lightly spiced, this hearty chili delivers everything you’d expect from your chili bowl, with a surprising twist…ground lamb. Garnish with a squeeze of lime and a spoonful of yogurt to add brightness to every irresistible mouthful.

Lentil Chili

This recipe is super easy to make in an Instant Pot (it’s a good recipe to try as a beginner too!) It’s healthy, flavorful, and as comforting as any chili we’ve tried before. Garnish with a big scoop of yogurt, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, and a lime wedge.

Quinoa Chili Verde

A bright departure from the usual chili scene, this green chili is super simple to put together and ready in less than an hour. It can also be made in the crock pot/slow cooker…add all the ingredients, cover with the vegetable broth and cook for 4 hours.

Triple Chocolate Beef & Bean Chili

Wait…there’s chocolate and beer in this chili? You bet your chili lovin’ boots there is. Even without the beans, this chili is hearty! Cocoa powder and semisweet chocolate add darkness and depth, and is rounded out with the complex bitterness of chocolate stout beer. Surprising and delicious.
