Reba McEntire’s Hot ‘N Chunky Chili
Description
This robust chili delivers deep, savory flavors through a long, slow simmer that tenderizes the beef chuck and melds the spices. The combination of chili powder, oregano, and crushed red pepper creates a warming heat, while the tomatoes and green peppers provide a chunky, satisfying texture. It is the perfect comfort food for chilly evenings or game day gatherings. Serve it hot with shredded cheddar and a side of rice for a complete meal.Ingredients
