Chili Is The Ultimate Comfort Food; 3 Recipes To Try.

 

When the weather turns chilly, it’s the perfect time for chili.

The comfort food can be a meal in itself.

What’s great about this dish is there isn’t just one recipe, said Anita Copelli, owner of South Greensburg Restaurant in South Greensburg.

“Chili is so versatile, because it can be made so many ways,” said Copelli, who owns the restaurant with her son, Bryston Gettins. “Anything you have in your garden you can put in chili.”

It’s also a food that can satisfy a variety of taste buds because it can made plain, spicy or somewhere in between. Some chefs start with beef, some with turkey, some a combination, and others use no meat at all.

Another favorite ingredient is kidney beans, which can be the only variety or accompanied by other beans, such as the concoction Copelli makes. Don’t like beans? Leave them out and make Texas chili.

And no two sauce choices are the same. Some cooks like a tomato sauce base while others use tomato juice or a vegetable broth.

That’s the beauty of chili — make it the way you like it, Copelli said.
