Meaty Beef & Bean Chili
“Everyone in my family makes chili, and everyone makes it differently. It’s like we’re Goldilocks and the Three Bears. My sister’s is mild and uses red beans. My mom likes hers a little spicy with more veggies. My brother would use kidney beans and jalapeños. I like to use different meats and black beans and—my secret—blend in a can of chipotles in adobo. They give it a smoky-sweet heat that is just fantastic. Plus, I love to hit the top with a variety of garnishes. Chili is also special because it makes me think of my dad. It was on the menu many Sundays when he was at my house with a crowd to watch football. We’ve lost my dad and my brother Kyle, and I miss them both terribly.” — Khela
