Hearty Italian Chili image

Meet the Cook: Beginning when I was just 5 years old, I was my grandmother's constant helper in the kitchen. And, like her, I can't seem to follow a recipe without changing it! That's how this one came about when I got bored with plain chili. The first time I served it at a potluck, people passed around copies of the recipe. My husband and I have three grown children and three grandchildren. -Chloe Buckner, Edinburg, Pennsylvania

This chili is a winner! It's hearty, flavorful, and easy to make. I love that it's not too spicy, so my kids can enjoy it too. I served it with sour cream, cheddar cheese, and tortilla chips, and it was a delicious meal.

This chili is a great way to use up leftover ground beef. It's also a great recipe to experiment with different spices and flavors. I like to add a bit of chipotle powder and cumin to give it a smoky flavor.

This chili was easy to make and very satisfying. I made a few substitutions based on what I had on hand, like using ground turkey instead of beef and adding some chopped kale. It turned out great! I'll definitely be making this again.
