We’re in the thick of chili season.

By now, you’ve probably gone through all your standby recipes several times and are tired of the same old chili. Here’s something new for your recipe collection. This simple chili recipe, which comes to us from our food blogger Kate, brings a unique take on chili to the table: a little something new mixed with a little something classic.

One element of this recipe that makes it stand out is the use of Randall Great Northern Beans.  In a tomato-based chili recipe like this one, you traditionally see kidney beans used. But not here. The great northern beans give a nutty hint that is normally lacking in your traditional chili recipe while creating a dynamic visual element to the dish.

This recipe also includes thick chunks of jalapenos, red onion and red bell pepper. These tender veggies give this bowl of chili a little extra crunch and texture, making it a chunkier, stew-like chili recipe. This is a staple for Southwestern-style chili recipes.

But don’t worry, this recipe has all elements you know and love in your chili! Lean beef. Chili spices. Diced tomatoes. Yum.

You can have this chili made and ready to eat in a little over 30 minutes, or let it cook longer to let all the flavors and spices get better acquainted. This is the perfect recipe for pleasing a crowd of hungry football fans or warming up the family after a long cold day.
