This time of year is definitely chili weather for me, because a hot bowl of chili is just the thing when it’s cool outside! The recipe I’m sharing here, Three-Can Chili, is a super-easy one—so even if you don’t like to cook, you may not mind making this.
The main ingredients are ground beef and one can each of diced tomatoes, chili beans, and corn. This recipe is very flexible, so if you don’t like chili beans, you can use black beans or kidney beans. If you don’t like corn in your chili, use another can of beans instead. If you want to make this a veggie chili, substitute an extra can of beans or veggie crumbles for the ground beef.
Some optional ingredients are paprika, green pepper, and yellow onion. I like the paprika because it gives the chili a richer, slightly smoky flavor. And I think the green pepper and onion are great additions to the chili, but if you don’t like one or the other, you can leave it out.
So if you’re a chili fan, give this a try sometime!

My family loves chili, but they kind of get stuck in a rut with Nally’s! So I love to try new recipes, hoping I can find a homemade version that they love. I will be trying this out on them soon!
