Gut health friendly chili

The BEST comforting & savory chili recipe (TPW approved!)

Mar 17, 2025

Chili is sacred. Everyone has a different recipe, preference and opinion. I personally like my chili thick, mild in spice and hearty with multiple types of beans and red meat over chicken or turkey. If this aligns with your chili criteria, I invite you to try my recipe!

Best served with a GF corn bread because DUH! Other honorable mentions for chili accoutrements; avocado, sour cream, green onions, and a baked potato, I don’t make the rules okay.
