A good bowl of chili can be enjoyed as a main course or side dish year-round, but it’s an especially apt accompaniment to February’s Super Bowl, deployed as a game-day topping on hot dogs and fries or in a chili cheese dip with tortilla chips. Whatever time of year, chili is one of the quintessential comfort foods of the West. The good news is it doesn’t have to be complicated.
This particular chili recipe is one of the simplest and most versatile you’ll find. I make a big batch and then freeze it in 2-meal portions for nights when real cooking just isn’t feasible.

This base will give you plenty of options for the big game.
