The amount on the recipe serves 4 people, and indeed plentiful however, if you’re serving additional guests, or would like leftovers … (and maybe some to freeze), we suggest you double the number of ingredients’… and use a bigger pot *wink.
Some people like to serve their chili with tortilla chips… but what’s even healthier and more delicious, is to serve the chili with homemade, gluten-free, South West corn bread made with our FTM EVOO and with “spicy-icy” skinny margaritas.
