Chili Con Carne is a great option for dinner!
I know for most people chili is more of a cold weather dish, but we happen to really enjoy it in the summer months topped over nachos or over grilled hot dogs. A few weeks back, I decided to try this delicious Chili Con Carne. It was full of delicious beans and lots of chili powder. It turned out to be perfect paired with hot dogs.
I also loved that it made a skillet full, I was able to freeze part of it to reheat later on during the month making it last a little bit longer. This recipe was adapted out of a very old Better Homes & Gardens cookbook. This one was passed along to me by my grandma several years ago.
I happen to LOVE using this Cast-Iron Skillet to make this dish, keep in mind this is an Amazon affiliate link.
I love that in this cookbook the recipes are down home cooking type meals, they are comfort meals. These are the meals my grandma used to make for us as kids and she truly had some of the best home cooking!
Ready for dinner tonight? Enjoy!
