Ok guys, let’s talk chili. I have something to admit, I was never a fan of it growing up! I know, I know, how can you not like Chili?! Well, my mom is a fan of beans so she would load her chili down with extra cans of beans and I just wasn’t a fan. I wasn’t a fan of the after effect those beans had on some of my family members either, but that is whole different story…
At the very least, she would religiously serve it with grilled cheese, so I had something I could eat for dinner. Personally, I would have much preferred she had gone with my childhood favorite, Rustic Italian Chicken Cacciatore!
I used the 99% extra lean Jennie-O ground turkey, but I was nervous it would be a little too lean for his liking and he would miss all the fat from hamburger. I used a McCormick Chili packet and V8 juice to sneak in some extra nutrition while keeping it simple with only a few ingredients.
Needless to say, all of the Light Turkey V8 Chili disappeared before it could even make it’s way to the freezer! I will be whipping up a double batch soon and am thinking about topping some baked potatoes with this cold weather goodness and stashing the rest in the freezer for easy last minute meals.
