Guest Post: Buffalo Chicken Chili

Friday, December 7, 2012


Hello friends! Today I'm off running errands and getting ready for a few really busy weeks that are ahead, so Meredith is taking over for me and sharing a really tasty chili recipe with you all! Enjoy!

December is prime holiday season, which means your schedule is probably starting to get packed with holiday parties, potlucks and visits from out-of-town family members or friends.  Food is usually the main event at all of these get-togethers, so cooking for a crowd is a necessary skill to perfect during the holiday season.

One of the best crowd-feeding tricks to keep up your sleeve during the holidays, and throughout the entire year for that matter, is knowing how to make one-pot meals.  One-pot meals save you lots of cleanup, allow for easy serving and usually make large batches perfect for feeding a ton of people—all of which are perfect for holiday party foods.  From spinach dips to baked Brie and easy chili recipes to intricate lasagnas, there are plenty of different dishes to bring to all of your holiday events. This chili recipe is extra-special because it combines the soupy goodness of chili with the spicy kick of buffalo wings; it’s basically like eating hot wings with spoon, but healthier and without getting sticky sauce all over your hands!  How could you not love that?  Feed it to your family and friends this holiday season or whip up a pot for the next football game—you’ll never look at chili the same way again.
