As I’m revisiting a few of my tried and true recipes this week, it seemed only reasonable to share with you some of the changes I’ve made since I first posted them. Since I first posted this recipe in the fall of 2009, it’s been a go-to when I’m looking for a hearty meal that makes lots of servings and cooks itself while we are at work. Or when Brian wants me to have chili, which is a pretty regular request. At any rate, I don’t think I’ve ever really made it the same twice – I regularly change up the vegetables in this recipe – but the basic blueprint remains the same. And so, I share that updated blueprint (and slightly less terrible photos), with you!
As an aside, the muffins in the background of the picture are Better Sesame Corn Muffins from Herbivoracious. I revisited them as well tonight and they are even better than I remembered. They pair perfectly with this chili.
