Fall is just around the corner! What a better way to welcome the rain and the changing color of the leaves with a hearty bowl of chili. This is my rendition of the comfort food best eaten with a toasted baguette and garlic butter watching the rain move through the lake. Serve on your favorite Sunday Football with chips and your favorite IPAs. For wines, I recommend a glass of Zinfandel or Pinot for this hearty meal.
