The Saturday Simmer: Chili recipes for tailgate parties
I know, I know. When you're dining al fresco in the football stadium parking lot, you're supposed to fire up the hibachi and grill hot dogs or brats, or something that tastes better when you wash it down with a beer while keeping your hands warm at the same time. I think what tastes best with beer is chili, and if you've got the hibachi going, why not warm up a pot of chili brought from home? Or, if tailgate dining isn't your plan, make this boozy beef chili (pictured above) from Food Blogga, and serve it in the comfort of your family room while the game is on TV. Or don't watch the game, and just make chili. Who's to know?

I'm always looking for good chili recipes Lydia - great roundup!
Mmmm, I always love a good chili. Great Saturday feature. I am really loving these Saturday feature emails I get Friday night. They bring me joy. Thank you for all that you do here dear. You're simply fabulous. These are some great recipe shares but the one that really caught my eye is the vegan lentil one. I have done vegan and lentil chili but never thought about adding olives, what a nice touch. The mix of ingredients and flavors seem really nice. I love roasted red peppers too. I would love to, at some point, see some 7 soups on Saturday selected veggie soups, like pick 1 veggie as the main theme and recipes to follow(example: squash; carrot; broccoli; potato; etc. soups) Right now carrot soups are really appealing to me and squash too.
I've been thinking about chili this week!
Here to all my friends in the Midwest that attend lots of football games - this looks delicious -- thanks
Jeanette, hope you find something new here.
Soup Lover, if you look in the right column under Seven Soups Every Saturday, you're likely to find many of those single-vegetable recipe collections you're looking for.
Kalyn, it's the weather. Cool weather, time to make chili!
Satonahat, I'm not a football fan, but I always associate chili with football. Don't know why!
Wow Lydia thanks for the navigation info. I am still learning to work on viewing as much of your site as I can. There is SO MUCH great stuff to read here.
