When it’s cold and rainy the last thing I want to be doing is running errands or having to be out and about. I’d rather nestle in on the couch with a big bowl of soup or chili and spend the whole day indoors watching movies and reading books. Last week’s rainy weather (thanks El Niño) inspired the making of this of my Beef and Roasted Poblano Pepper Chili. There’s nothing more comforting than a big bowl of chili. It sticks to your ribs, and almost immediately makes you feel like all is right with the world even when it’s not. You guys already know I’m a lover of all things with heat; so I had to come up with a recipe that was going to deliver on said heat, and I found my answer in poblano peppers. The poblano peppers are a nice addition because while they do add heat, it’s not the unbearable… hurry up and grab a glass of water type heat. Instead it gives it a nice smoky flavor with just a subtle kick of heat. It’s seriously one of my favorite meals to eat during cold weather, and it’s awesome because not only do I eat it as a bowl, but it’s also perfect as a topping! Think cornbread, hot dogs, hamburgers, crackers, rice… I could go on and on! 😛
