My favorite GO-TO chili recipes.

Yesterday it rained. Poured, actually.

Us AZ peeps get super excited when this happens. 

{Because it doesn’t seem to happen TOO often.}

When it DOES happen…it {slightly} cools things down for us in this sweltering heat.

Like from 105 degrees to like low 90s.

And that slight cool down meant….

yesterday, there was a tinge and I mean TINGE of fall in the air. 

{Yes..when you’re from AZ…low 90s means fall is near!}

I’ve been wanting to make soup lately but who really wants to make soup when your air conditioning is cranked down to 78 degrees? 

I jumped on the chance and made chili.

I made so much we invited my parents over.

My kids licked their bowls dry.

So for those of you who are A LOT closer to feeling ‘fall’ than me…enjoy my TWO very favorite GO-TO chili recipes.  They’re both SUPER simple and SUPER tasty.

{But they both have beans. And you know what that means…

Don’t say you haven’t been warned!}
