Comfort food at its finest! It doesn’t hurt that it’s a quick mean to make either. I only had one can of tomatoes and chiles, but I did have a can of tomatoes and a can of whole chiles! A few minutes of chopping and done! This chili is super filling, delicious and a crowd pleaser among my ravenous teenagers! Thank you for a fantastic recipe!
This was thick, spicy and good. While cooking, I wasn’t too sure about how it was going to turn out–with the refried beans, it seemed so thick, but it all came together well. The cheese and cilantro really added to the flavor. I added some sour cream too. One change I made was to use leftover turkey breast that I cut into bite-size pieces. This is a fairly quick and filling meal.
