Chili is one of my favorite cold weather foods. Ahhh…who am I trying to kid? Chili is really one of my favorite foods. Its easy to change up, depending on the day and what your mood is.

Note: If you prefer less heat, chili powder can be reduced in any of these recipes by 1 tablespoon. On the other hand, if you like your chili hot, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to taste. Also, feel free to get creative with your ingredients!  Personally, I prefer my slow cooker chili on the mild side.
