"Canned foods are delightfully convenient when stocked in the pantry. You never know when they'll come in handy or how you can incorporate them into a dish for a more filling or interesting culinary experience. Canned chili is one example that's especially versatile; we deemed it an absolute must-have canned food, along with tomatoes and beans. While chili is tasty on its own, we wanted to highlight some creative ways to use the food beyond eating it as is."
"But before we begin, it helps to mention that there are different types of canned chili. These include bean-inclusive and bean-free varieties, with meats such as turkey or beef; some have veggies and everything in between. For the most part, they'll all work. You may find that you want to incorporate a specific chili's flavor or texture into a dish, too."
"We're so used to eating chili with a spoon that we forget there are other ways to dig into it, like with chips or crackers. If a can of chili doesn't sound good, revamping it into a three-ingredient dip might make it all the more enticing. The great thing about chili dip is the copious amount of cheese, which gives it that dippable, gooey, creamy texture we know and love."
Different types of canned chili include bean-inclusive and bean-free varieties, with meats such as turkey or beef and varying vegetable content. Most varieties work well as ingredients in other dishes. Canned chili adds flavor, protein, and heartiness while simplifying meal preparation. A simple three-ingredient chili dip uses no-bean chili, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar for a gooey, dippable texture. The dip assembles in about ten minutes, making it suitable for gatherings and game-day snacks. Using no-bean chili yields a smoother consistency. Canned chili can be incorporated into many recipes to make meals more filling and interesting.
