Mild Chili Con Carne that’s ready in 30 minutes! Great for dipping with chips or topped over hot rice…
The last week of May and first week of June has been a tough one for me. I was advised to be on bed rest by my OB because I’m having a bit of preterm labor. It was the hardest part of being pregnant because I love moving around the house. We don’t have househelp, so I have tons of mommy chores and mommy duties to do every single day. Cooking requires tinkering in the kitchen too and it was one of the things that I couldn’t do.
Last wednesday, I got a permission from my sweet OB to go swimming. It was sis’s “Huling Hirit sa Tag-Init” and we went to Club Punta Fuego. Even though I know I wouldn’t be able to join them swimming and gallivanting I still wanted to go because I wanted to snap photos of peanutbutter♥ and Ykaie. I know they would love the place — we’ve been there in 2012. (Our Room|Part 2|Swimming)

I spent most of the time sitting by the pool area, taking photos with my phone, and watching these people who I love very much enjoy the last days of Summer…. (Will be posting our recent Club Punta Fuego Trip at MommyPeach.com)
When we got home by thursday, I am back on bed rest. peanutbutter♥ does some of the cooking at home these days. Sometimes I get tired sitting and lying around that I get stubborn. I stand up do light things and whip up something that’s easy to make. This Chili Con Carne is one of them. I’ve been craving for this for weeks now!!!
What I love about Chili Con Carne is that it’s one versatile dish. You can eat it as it is, serve it with cornbread, chips, or top it on hot rice. You can also turn it into a soup or pasta dish.
I am looking into topping this on potato chips and cheesedogs in the next couple of days…

We LOVE chilli con carne, actually just had some two days ago. Must give your version a try soon. Love your beautiful chilli bowl.
Thanks Angie!
wow that looks like a pretty good recipe! My son is a big chili fan – will try this!
I hope you like it.
This looks fantastic, great flavors!
Thanks Florian!
Gusto ko yan! Next time I’ll use canned kidney beans naman, nasanay kasi ako sa fresh na binababad pa at nilalaga ng matagal. 🙂
huhuhu.. now that I’m preggers lahat ng pwede i-short cut, i sho-short cut ko..
How tough! Hang in there and take it easy! Chili looks perfect though – selfishly glad you broke the rules to make it. 😉 Take care of yourself and that little one!
Thank you so much Rachel.
I can’t imagine being on bed rest, I hope it is over soon for you! In the mean time, I’m glad you were still able to share this chili recipe because it looks amazing!
Thank you so much Kim!
if it was not so darn hot here I’d be making this chili tonight for sure – look delicious
heehee.. Thanks Heather!
Love chili con carne! One of our favorite dishes, and we eat it all the time — winter or summer! Yours looks terrific. Thanks. And be sure to take care of yourself!
Thanks John!
I would be sitting at the pool too! Thank you for the recipe! It looks yummy and quick!
You’re welcome Christy!
I love chili! It’s the perfect comfort food, and it feeds a crowd too. I’ve made similar recipes for our church’s youth group (30+ hungry teenagers!) and they just gobble it right up!

It is the perfect comfort food! I couldn’t agree more!
That is fantastic! I love that dollop of sour cream, cheese, and chives in the center. Yummo!
★★★★★
Thanks Stacie!
Growing up, we had chili once a week and it’s still one of my favorite foods! I usually wait till my mom comes to town so that she can make it but your recipe has inspired me and I think I’ll try to do it myself!
My boyfriend and his friends would love this recipe. They tend to like recipes like this. Me, not so much. I will make it for them to go with their sports programs thou.
I’m sure they would absolutely love this.
Oh I have to send this recipe to my son too. He loves chili and this one looks particularly delicious.
Thanks Liz Mays!
My family loves chili on grilled hot dogs during the summer. Yours looks so delicious and the bowl is really pretty.
Thanks Alli!
Oh man this looks delicious. It makes me miss my grandma, nobody made chili con carne quite like she did.
★★★★★
Thanks Nina!
Oh that Chili Con Carne looks amazing. My hubby would love this so much, I have never made it before. Thanks for the recipe.
Thanks Mistee Dawn. I’m sure you’ll like it.
I love chili con carne and that looks so tasty. Glad that you were still able to swim and have fun in that beautiful pool.
Thanks Ourfamilyworld. I didn’t swim, I was just on the sidelines.
Chili con Carne is one of our favorite meals to have during the wintertime. It’s summer here now, but I feel like I want to have a bowl after seeing your photos.
Thanks Lynndee!
There is nothing like a home-cooked, comfort-food, bowl of delicious, hot chili con carne. It’s perfect for a one bowl dinner that satisfies.
★★★★★
Thanks Maria!
Chili con carne has always been one of my personal favorites. I haven’t had any in a while, so I need to check out your recipe. I love the infinity pool, by the way.
Thanks Robin!
I have always wanted to swim in an infinity pool. That is so cool and what a gorgeous view. The Chili Con Carne looks amazing too. I love dips like this. Even though I have been trying to stay away from tortilla chips, I am finding that celery, baked zucchini or squash slices and even cucumber slices work really well.
Oh I’ll try dipping those in Chili next time.
This looks like an awesome chili recipe! I love having this any time of the year and would love to try your version!
Thanks Michelle!
I was recently on bed rest and it sucked! I hated this but maybe if I had some of your yummy chili con carne it would of been better.
★★★★★
I didn’t like having to be on a bed rest.
We love chili in our house. I usually throw everything in the crock pot. Thanks for the recipe.
I will try using a crockpot next time.
Yum! It’s been a while since I last made a chili-, I think it’s time to make it again. Thanks for the reminder.
you’re welcome mommy Rose!
Oooo this sounds pretty tasty! Totally going to pin so I can make some this fall during one of my football parties.
Thanks Courtney!
Yum! That looks so good. Perfect for my husband he loves snacking on stuff like this I’ll have to see about making him some.
Thanks Jeanine!
This looks delicious. I am getting hungry and wish that I had the ingredients on hand to make some chili.

Thanks Uplifting families!
I was just talk about chili a few mins ago! I could eat chili any time of year, and I was getting some weird looks. Perhaps in a dip would be more sensible! 🙂
Same here! I could Chili anytime of the year!
Oh Yummy! I think this would be a hit in my house for a chili night.
★★★★★
Oh yes, I think it would.

Love this recipe! Ohh my husband would totally love it. We are huge chili fans over here.

I have to admit I am jealous of the sitting at the side of the pool. That would be totally relaxing to me indeed. The chili con carne looks so so delicious and I am for sure going to be making this recipe. I have been craving chili lately too. Thanks for sharing.

How delicious does this chili con carne look? I think this would be the perfect recipe to make with the way the weather has been here! Chili con carne was one of the very first recipes I learned to cook a long time ago!
Thanks Joanne!
