Easy Skillet Chili

The kids LOVE this! A friend came over right after dinner and I offered him a bowl of chili. He said no thanks, he wasn't really hungry... we had some corn chips & dip out... he started scooping up the chili with the chips and raving about it... he put a big dent in the chili for someone that wasn't really hungry!! hehehe

I like to serve this with corn muffins. I haven't found a corn muffin recipe I like. The ones I've tried have a cake-like texture and are too sweet. So I usually just use a Jiffy Corn Muffin mix (or two!) but I add diced green chili, corn & cheese.

YUM!!

Look good, although I would leave out the beans. I just don't feel it for beans. Isn't there some kind of law that if you have a kitchen it must have a package of Jiffy Corn Muffin mix in it? Every one I have ever been in has at least one.

I try to keep that stuff on hand... but I'm often out! I had to buy some yesterday. AND I bought the below store brand brand and it was just as good!
