Chili with beef

This recipe for Chili with beef is such a comforting dish, and it can also have many variations, because if you don’t like beef you can also replace it with vegetables, chicken or turkey. There are so many versions of this tasty dish, and here I share with you one recipe that was extremely successful in my home. I didn’t make it very spicy, though, as this dish usually is, but that is something that can be handled to your liking. Chili can be cooked at any time of year, and in fact, here in the United States there’s a day in which people celebrate the “Chili day”, and it’s usually an excellent opportunity to taste many different versions of this delicious dish.
