Variations & swaps
Chili easily adaptable to pantry and fridge
- This recipe is easily adaptable. If you don’t have 3 cans of red beans, use what you have! No garlic? Use garlic powder instead or leave it out altogether. If you only have chopped tomatoes but no tomato sauce or paste, no problem. Look through the fridge and see what you DO have, chop, and add to the chili.
