Chili is one of those recipes that my dad loves to redo every once in a while.
Ever since I could remember, he started off making over a campfire. He would make the pepper poppers as an appetizer and the chili would be the main dish.
Chili is one thing that I love. Every time I come home from college, I would beg for my dad to make chili.
My dad has always made chili in different ways and I think my favorite is when he made it over the fire.
Right now, he is in the mode where he feels like he needs to smoke everything he cooks, so he’ll take the meat he is using, the vegetables and whatever else he wants to add and he’ll throw it in the smoker for a few hours.
Everyone who lives in Illinois knows how cold it is outside, so the perfect way to stay warm is with a nice bowl of chili.
