October is National Chili Month

worryfree • Oct 08, 2018

Are you loving the cool nights and beautiful blue-sky days that autumn brings to the St. Louis area? We sure are! It makes us want to cook up a big batch of chili and sit around the fire with loved ones. In fact – there’s a reason October is National Chili Month!

According to the International Chili Society, chili was popularized in the 1800s during the Gold Rush. Cowboys combined dried beef, fat, pepper, salt, and chili peppers into rectangles or “chili bricks” that were dumped into boiling water over a fire.

To this day, we Americans still love our meaty chili and various versions that bring us all together with a warm sweater and a cold bevie. The Callier family loves chili so much, we’ve worked to perfect our slow-cooked recipes and won awards for bringing the heat with delicious flair.

Callier’s Four Bean and Roasted Root Vegetable Chili Recipe

In honor of National Chili Month, we’ve decided – for the first time ever – to share our one-of-a-kind Four Bean & Roasted Root Vegetable Chili recipe with you…once you serve this chili, you’ll be the Chili Master among Masters!

Ready to make a healthy, mouth-watering vegan dish that even meat eaters will love? This is for you! Start with a mix of kidney, garbanzo, navy, and black beans, then dice and roast root vegetables with tomatoes and spices to make this zesty, nourishing chili.
