10 unique cozy chili recipes to keep you warm

You know that first day in early September when you smell and feel that first cold morning and you know in a week or two the leaves will be turning colors, you will be wearing a sweater, and watching football. Well when that day hits all I want is chili! Chili is definitely one of my top favorite foods and the best part is that there are so many variations you could literally have it everyday and it always be different. So I put together a list of the best cozy chili recipes for fall.

Each one of these cozy chili recipes is unique and that is what makes a list like this so much fun. From cranberries to steak to pumpkin to chicken, you can make a huge pot of any of these for a cool autumn day!

Classic Crockpot Chili – The Schmidty Wife

I can’t resist but start of this collection of cozy chilis with my very own Classic Crockpot Chili. A HUGE batch of what I believe to be classic chili: ground beef, beans, peppers, onions, and tomatoes complete with homemade seasonings. Paired with cornbread or sour cream and cheese this is a classic that everyone will enjoy.

Easy Stovetop Pale Ale Chili – Home. Made. Interest. 

Pale Ale Chili is a hearty and easy to make game day chili made with pale ale beer that is perfect for football season. Because nothing says fall like football, beer, and a big bowl of cozy chili right!?

Crockpot Creamy Pumpkin Chili – The Schmidty Wife 

Not to toot my own horn but this Creamy Pumpkin Chili is one of my all time favorite things. Using the idea of creating a pumpkin-white chili combo this super flavorful chili was born. Using maple breakfast sausage, pumpkin, white beans, and green chili’s this is a cozy chili you and your friends and family will want to make again and again.

Healthy Buffalo Chicken Chili – Delicious on a Dime

Cranberry Chili with Cinnamon and Cocoa – Rhubarbarians

First off I will warn you I am obsessed with Cranberries, so when I saw this Cranberry Chili I got really really excited.

This is one bowl full of chili that will keep you feeling cozy all fall (and winter) long!
