Welcome to Autumn, football season, and baseball playoffs! What is better on game day than an easy chipotle chili recipe with just the right amount of spice from chipotle peppers.

Using lean ground sirloin in this chili recipe gives excellent flavor and lower in fat! Make some today and freeze a batch for later in the month!

Now that the kids are back in school, I focus on quick, easy, and freezer friendly meals!  My son, Aidan is a bit of a chili expert! He is my go-to spice guy and also loves to cook and really loves to be the taste tester!

I make many different types of chili and he has to approve all of them! This is my base chili recipe and from here the possibilities are endless…and he loves this chili!

Chili is one of those go-to meals that is perfect for a weekday meal and perfect for your tailgate party!

This recipe is a one pot meal with a perfect amount of kick from the chipotle pepper.  As always, adjust your spices according to your family’s taste.  We love spice, so I usually add in a bit extra of everything!

    Sounds similar to how I make it at home. It’s such a yummy dish and I always make sure I have left overs for stuffed sweet potatoes or burritos later in the week.

    My family loves chili and with the cooler weather coming, I can’t wait to whip up a big batch. I like that this recipe gets a little kick of heat from the chipotles.

    Chili is one of my husb’s fave dinners. I’m making some for him next week and maybe need to use this recipe. The hotter, the better!

    That looks delicious! We don’t eat red meat so I would love to try this with ground chicken or turkey.

    Printed! My family loves chili so we’ll most likely be making this in the near future as it starts to cool down and settle into fall! Thanks for the recipe! I’ll have to let you know how it turns out!
