S&W Kick-Off Chili
Description
This robust S&W Kick-Off Chili combines ground beef and pork sausage for a deeply savory, protein-packed base. The addition of kidney beans and a cornmeal slurry creates a uniquely thick, hearty texture that stands up to bold spices like oregano, chili powder, and coriander. It is the perfect comfort food for game day gatherings, chilly weeknight dinners, or potlucks where you need a dish that feeds a crowd. The rich tomato foundation balances the meatiness, while a generous topping of melted cheese adds a creamy, indulgent finish.Ingredients
