For a well-balanced board, fil in spaces on board with beans, fresh fruit and vegetables.

Recipe Tips

When you're feeding a larger crowd, offer both a vegetarian chili and a chili with meat. Or, include a white chicken chili as an option. To easily keep chili warm during a party, try serving from a slow cooker.
