About

Abbie: This is one of my favorites. It’s so warm, comforting, and homey, and is packed full of healthy veggies. The chili cooks at a low temperature, so rather than prep everything ahead of time, you can chop as you go, which saves time. There are a few secret ingredients—coffee, cacao, and sriracha—that make it extra special. People invariably ask for this recipe. It’s up to you whether you reveal your secret.
