It’s that time of year again, and Valdosta has taken advantage of the season. Though it was unexpected, Valdosta has been swept up by the cold front and we’re just trying to stay warm.  With fall upon us now is the time for hot cocoa, sweaters, boots, soups, and CHILI! Chili can be a year-round dish, but nothing is better than snuggling up under a blanket, watching a nice movie, and munching on a bowl of hot and spicy chili. This recipe calls for a slowcooker, so it can easily cook while you’re in class. If you don’t have one, you can use a regular pot and just up the heat! Below is an easy and college-friendly dish that will become a staple recipe for your holiday season.
