Recipe: It's Chili Weather!!

I love this time of year! By far my most favorite time of all. I'm sitting here watching the football game with the windows open as I type this and it's amazing. I know I've been super MIA lately and slacking. The hubsters and I have been super busy and truthfully, I can't even tell you what with. Just that I feel like I haven't had a chance to breathe in the last 2 weeks.

But, here I am! I'm making a post!! Yay!! I promise I'll try to be better, but I have said that probably a million times before and I can't be positive I won't get lost again. But...I'll try.

This is the perfect weather for soups. And...it's finally chili weather!! Mike makes THE best chili ever and it's super easy. Plus it always makes enough for leftovers and we usually buy a block of Velveeta and make some chili dip for the football game that weekend. Sooooo good. And, because I'm in love with this chili I figured I would post the recipe so you can enjoy it, too!!
