For Super Bowl 2016, I decided I wanted to make something similar to Petro's (I'll link that recipe at the end of the post!) or Frito chili pies because we weren't having a get together or anything like that. I still wanted some type of a game dayesque food. I chose to try this recipe from Amy's blog and went with her garden chili recipe to top it. The chili is quite fabulous. It has red wine in it and the wine gives it such a bold, rich flavor to it. Plus tatortots and hot dogs! That's good grub!

As I said earlier, I wanted to make something similar to Petro's - which is a particular type of Frito pie that is native to Knoxville! I have very few chili recipes left on my Pinterest board to try, so if you know of any good ones, leave me a comment! I am, however, going to be trying this Slow Cooked Chicken Fajita Chili from Lynn's Kitchen Adventures soon.
