My sister-in-law Stephanie makes a great chili, and she shared the recipe with us. I love hominy and bell peppers, so we add those in. We’ve also made this with a pound of cubed, cooked pork chops for an extra meaty chili–haha, we called it “Meaty Meat Meat Chili”. You can make this in a pot or let it simmer in the crock pot.
And this one is naturally gluten free.
Make it a meal with:
- Sour Cream and Cheese to top
- Corn Muffins
- Melon or Grapes
- Green Salad
Chili

It’s got a fair amount of spice, but you can add even more chili powder to up the heat.
