Dutch Oven Chili

Lately I have been in a bit of a cooking rut...making the same things over and over again. So, when I got my Country Living Magazine this month I decided that Brian's Bourbon Chili seemed simple enough AND I could use my new Dutch Oven. Isn't she pretty?

I adapted the recipe a little bit to make it less spicy so that Maddie and Claudia might like it (they are such picky eaters!

I thought I would make it more interesting to the girls by putting the chili in little Tostito bowls and garnishing with  a dollop of sour cream and cheddar cheese.

Shaun was a much bigger fan than the girls were but they eventually came around to the idea. And with little ones it's always nice to have another meal that you can prepare ahead of time!

If anyone has any other good dutch oven recipes PLEASE feel free to send them my way!!
