Hey guys! I’m back and ready to whip up some delicious treats.
This Easy Poblano Chili recipe is one of my all time favorites. It’s super quick and easy and is seriously loaded with flavor! My mother in law made this last week to bring to the chili cookoff at her office and she got second place! Woop Woop!! Next time we’ll shoot for first, but i’ll take it for now.
It has ground beef, italian sausage, and bacon, and a combination of yummy peppers… diced poblanos, jalepenos, and green bell peppers. We then tossed in lots of spices, some canned tomatoes and a whole can of beer. I typically like to use an Amber Ale (i.e Fat tire. Saint Arnold), but any beer will do the trick as we discovered last night when I had to use a good ole can of Bud Light since we didn’t have anything else on hand. Whoops! But for real, how easy is that? It’s made in one pot and will be on the dinner table in no time.
I love love love this chili recipe because it’s easy, healthy, and soooo yummy. And even more perfect for those chilly nights. I hope you love!!
