There is something about fall in the Midwest. The minute the leaves start to turn, a slight chill returns to the air, and football fills our televisions, I start getting in the mood for fall food.

Although we have had a relatively warm start to autumn this year (not a complaint heard hear!), the first day of fall was crisp and cool, and in our house that means one thing – chili! Making chili during the fall season isn’t particularly novel, but there is one chili recipe I have made since my husband and I started dating well over a decade ago, and it has become our chili recipe.
