The Super Bowl is one of my favorite parts of the year, not because I’m a football fan, but because my husband always has me cook some fun foods we don’t eat too often. One of those foods this year is Chili! I love how versatile a meal it can be. You can add or subtract ingredients any which way you like and there are different ways to present the meal as well.
