In our house Fall = Soup time! And one of my favorite soups is this amazing award-winning chili recipe!

This recipe was taken from my mom, modified by my brother and then modified again by me. So it is a unique recipe that is a definite Family Favorite! And yes, it even won an award at a chili cook-off contest! Wahoo!

So it is a family favorite but also an all around, delicious Chili!

I am thrilled to be a Canbassador and part of their Cans Get You Cooking campaign. And as part of this campaign, I am excited to be able to share one of our family favorite recipes with you!

I love to cook from scratch and there are a lot of whole foods that come in cans that are perfect for creating simple, quick and healthy meals! And when I am short on time, or on meal ideas, having a well stocked pantry can help me throw together a great dinner, simply!

Here is how to create our Family Favorite Award Winning Chili!
