    Today I'm bringing you another pantry recipe! Pantry Chili is super easy and full of ingredients that you already have.

    We've all been on a pantry kick for quite a while. It's hard to keep things fresh - I totally get that.

    When all of this COVID craziness started, I went to the grocery store and bought some canned beans, corn, and tomatoes, thinking I'd use them up immediately.

    Well, I didn't use them as quick as I thought I would, so I turned them into a recipe.

    Pantry Chili

    The beauty about this recipe is that you can sub out many of these ingredients.

    Don't have black beans? Use kidney beans or cannellini beans!

    You can use any kind of ground meat - beef, turkey, sausage, or do away with the meat altogether.

    Chili is also a great way to incorporate veggies that are on their last leg.

    Jalapeños, onions, peppers, and spinach would all be great in this. The idea is to use up what you have, and make something delicious.

    I used sweet potatoes in my chili because they needed to be used and they were absolutely fabulous! Why haven't we been doing this all along?

    I hope the recipe outline below inspires you to use what you have and make it stretch for a day or two before going to the grocery store.
