My very favorite tradition Halloween night is to warm up with my favorite chili before we go out trick-or-treating. It's always a family hit and the perfect meal for Halloween night. After we get back from trick-or-treating we have seconds and watch Harry Potter! Recipe below...
I initially found this chili recipe via Pinterest. It's by Megan of Pip & Ebby and I have linked her recipe here. I still love it but over the years I've added in and taken some things out to better fit my family's liking. See my version below and the original recipe here.
