Chili Recipes: 16 Hearty Dishes

Chili season has been in full-swing for months, so you might be growing tired of the same ol' ground-beef-and-chili-powder dish. But that doesn't mean it's time to give up on chili altogether. What other meal is as simultaneously warm, filling and full of punchy flavors?

You may think it blasphemous to take your chili sans carne, but the beef-less variety is a nice option to mix things up. Butternut squash, quinoa and a variety of beans can produce a hearty, satisfying vegetarian chili.

Not convinced? If you're a carnivore who refuses to acknowledge any distinction between chili and red meat, we've got that covered too. Change up your traditional chili with lentils, potatoes, or even beer.
