you gotta make your own stock its the best! we save all our ends, stalks, skins etc. in a big bag in the freezer and once the bag is full throw it in the big pot with some water and let it simmer all day. sometimes I add some bay leaves and more garlic.

This looks amazing, Adelle! I don't eat beef but do you think other meats would work?

(also, side note, Lou's sweater looks cozy af)

You could probably use chicken! I love chicken chili too. Or skip the meat and add cubed sweet potatoes. OR use those meatless crumbles, I like those too.

Did Izzy try it? How'd she do with it? I love to make chili in the winter and am always looking for new recipes, just have to make sure it's not too spicy for the kiddles.

Izzy is not “there” yet. She eats mostly popcorn and blueberries. Hendrix liked it though! (He’s 14)

I AM FILLED WITH DELIGHT. My darling husband makes a vegetarian chili with BLACK OLIVES and-- no. Incorrect. I would have made this with ground beef but stew beef sounds amazing. My daughter (14) might even eat it since she is down with black beans?? And why had I never thought to cuisinart this type of biz? My sorry ass would've been chopping veg all day. Huzzah! I will report back on my own chili makings-- our crock pot is much smaller so I'll have to size down.

Also I think a handful of red pepper flakes wouldn't go amiss
