PINEAPPLE CHILI
Chili is one of those foods that tastes so good on a cold day. It’s hearty, comforting and warms you from the
inside out. Whether it’s a family gathering, a potluck at church, or just a cozy evening at home, the answer is a
big batch of slow cooker chili. I’ve made many variations over the years and this pineapple chili is a great
candidate for my all-time favorite.
