Meat and Vegetable Chili: this is not your average chili. All the awesome kidney beans, ground beef, and spices but loaded with other vegetables too.

This meat and vegetable chili has a got a little extra goodnesses with the addition of loads of vegetables.
This is my version of my mom’s chili, she got the recipe from Kerry, a family friend, although I’m sure his was much spicier. The original recipe calls for some banana peppers, though my mom never added them.
This is a real comfort food to me. It’s a little different from your average chili, because it includes lots of veggies. It’s so, so good.
Funny story, one of my brothers old girl friends wanted to make him a special dinner and asked him what he’d like. He said chili, thinking of mom’s chili of course, the only chili we ever knew. She made him what I’m sure was a lovely, traditional chili of beans, and meat, and asked expectantly what he thought. He said “this isn’t chili” which lead to quite an argument. So, this isn’t indeed your traditional chili, but I promise it’s delicious.
This chilli is the perfect dish for this time of year when it’s harder to get good fresh veggies. It’s also a good one for anyone trying to eat healthy, since it’s packed with so many veggies. I usually serve it with a good crusty bread.
