This chili con carne dish is influenced by Mexican cuisine but believed to have originated in Texas. Chili con carne, meaning “chili with meat”, is a hearty stew that contains some simple kitchen and food bank staples such as kidney beans, diced tomatoes, onions and fragrant spices. It’s a perfect one-pot dish that is not only full of flavor, but also tastes even better as leftovers the next day. Don’t forget to garnish with sour cream, green onions and cheese.
