BEEF POTATO PINTO BEAN KALE CHILI-1

This beef, potato, and pinto bean chili is a deeply satisfying meal that brings warmth to your table. Ground beef pairs beautifully with potatoes and creamy pinto beans, creating a hearty, balanced stew, perfect for cool fall and winter evenings. Serve this chili topped with sliced avocado and plenty of fresh cilantro for a bright contrast to the warm spices. It’s also lovely with a simple cabbage-lime slaw on the side for added crunch. Leftovers thicken beautifully overnight, making this an ideal make-ahead meal for busy weeks or cozy weekends at home.

Fantastic! It’s that time of year to start consuming the garden potatoes before they start sprouting. Thanks for the change up from traditional chili!
