What makes this recipe special?
Jump to Recipe
This gluten-free Chili is another one of my childhood favorites. I love it even more now for its ability to feed a lot of people or to save as leftovers for the next day; it also freezes well! This recipe is gluten-free and dairy-free, so you can share it with those that may have food allergies or follow those dietary lifestyles.

Why eat the Gluten-Free Chili?

Chili can be a great opportunity to sneak in vegetables where kids won’t realize they are eating them. Sprinkling with cheese on top can assist in hiding them where they can’t see them. Carrots and sweet potatoes chopped small can be great additions and help sweeten it up!

BurgerFit Tip

Time, and I’m not referring to the herb thyme, is the most important ingredient when making chili! Chili really needs time to balance all of the flavors. Whenever I find myself getting impatient and thinking it is “missing something,” usually the only thing it is missing is time.

    I have a very picky daughter! So I went ahead and got a little creative with this recipe, I added raisins just like how she loves her chili. And yes, she wants green and red bell pepper added to it as well. Turned out it was the most satisfying meal she ever had in a month. She finished her plate and asked if she could have it again for next week. I was blown away!
