This recipe is super easy to make and my 4 year old son asked for seconds! Now, what 4 year old asks for seconds when eating chili!! That's how good it is!
Let's talk about the cloves for a minute. These can be fun for your kiddos. You want to ensure you dont eat the cloves. If you opt to add water to this recipe (you can), the cloves will float to the top so you can easily pick them out when the chili is finished cooking. But I like my chili on the thicker side. If I dont see the cloves when serving the chili, I tell the kids to look for the "wishes" in the chili and if they find one they can pick it out and make a wish. It's a fun way for the kiddos to eat :)
I love to eat my chili with noodles or rice (depending on my mood). I typically put a 1/2 cup of cooked rice or Gluten Free noodles at the bottom of my bowl, pour my chili over it and top it with my favorite shredded cheese. It's always best to use a fresh block of cheese! My husband loves to top his off with a little sour cream.
Whatever toppings you like, you will love this chili recipe! Enjoy!
