Just last night, I won first place in a chili contest with this Chili Recipe with Corn. We love this chili. It is the perfect one-pot meal. It makes a great cozy dinner on a busy weeknight, or easily feeds a crowd for game nights, Halloween, or other fall and winter gatherings. Made with ground beef, chili beans, pinto beans, green chiles, broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, seasonings, and corn, we love how the slight sweetness of the corn balances with the flavorful seasoned chili. This image shows an overhead of the chili served in a bowl with toppings including corn, avocao, green onions and grated cheese. Cornbread is shown above the bowl of chili.
