I make this chili at Halloween every year. It just started out as a way to help with my daughter-in-law taking grandkids trick or treating so that she didn't have to worry about something to feed them before getting them ready. Then it grew into a tradition with all kinds of halloween decorations and spooky food.

How To Make halloween chili

  • 1
    Combine all dry seasoning ingredients in airtight glass container. This will keep for several weeks, so make it ahead of time.
  • 2
    Puree all the liquid ingredients together.
  • 3
    Brown the ground meat. Drain and rinse in a colander. Return to pan and heat.
  • 4
    Add the seasoning mix. Combine well. Add pureed mixture to meat. Mix well over medium heat. Simmer for 2 hours or put in crock pot and set on low until ready to serve.
  • 5
    We eat our chili over fritos with cheese. The reason that I puree the beans and rotel is to trick my family. They don't like "beans" or rotel tomatoes. The things a mother has to do!
