DIRECTIONS – Leave your house. Go to the nearest grocery store and get the ingredients to make this. NOW. 🙂 Tomorrow is another possible snow day, and THIS is what you should have on hand!! I made a pot last night, and its been lunch and dinner today, and I’m not complaining!
This chili has it ALL. Protein, meat, veggies, greens…the whole 9. I found the original recipe on one of my favorite blogs Love and Lemons. I made a few adaptations, so check out her original! She added chilies and onions to hers – I added ground turkey for another dose of protein. So good, so hearty, so healthy!! This is a perfect snow day meal!
