Recipes to Fit Every Palate
In my opinion, there are pot chili recipes to suit every palate. My cookbook collection has everything from the rich-with-ground-beef-and-tomatoes Classic Beef Chili Recipe that makes such a comforting pot of chili to the Turkey Chili Recipe, which offers a lighter twist.

Vegetarian enthusiasts will love the heaving-with-beans-and-veggies Vegetarian Chili Recipe (a must!). When you think of chili, you might think of the Creamy White Chicken Chili Recipe.

My family also loves the robust, no-bean Texas Chili Recipe, which is more like a meat stew than a pot of chili. Want convenience?

The Slow Cooker Chili Recipe lets you set it and forget it, while the Instant Pot Chili Recipe is perfect for quick cooking. Adventurous eaters might also enjoy the spicy kick of the Green Chili Recipe or the depth from a Chocolate Chili Recipe.

For a different kind of kick, there’s the Sweet Potato Chili Recipe and even a Pumpkin Chili Recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

To the pot, add the beef that has been ground, and cook until it achieves the color of brown and the aroma of savoriness, which takes about 5 minutes.

You want it to combine into something well and truly chili-like, with its flavor much intensified and some delightful nuance appearing, though you obviously want it to be well seasoned. When I taste it at this point, I want it to mostly chill if not completely chili-like, with any and all seasoning needing to be adjusted.
