February 27, 2025 is National Chili Day! Whether you prefer it Texas-style, Mexican-style, or vegetarian, chili served with a side of cornbread is a fabulous comfort food for the winter season.

Despite popular belief, chili does not come from Mexico. The recipe has certainly been influenced by Mexican culture, but it also incorporates elements from Native American and Spanish culinary traditions.

Many historians believe chili originated in Texas where all three of these cultures intersected.

According to legend, Spanish priests called the first chili "the soup of the Devil" because they believed that chili peppers were an aphrodisiac.

To celebrate National Chili Day, indulge in a delicious bowl of this historical spicy stew!

My husband loves chili when it's cold however I don't know if it's really chili. We put ground beef, rice chili seasoning and cornbread
