Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To switch up this Easy Chili recipe, try subbing 1 lb lean ground turkey for the ground beef and cannellini beans for the kidney beans.
  • tip 2
    If you don’t have Sriracha sauce on hand for this Easy Chili, you can add 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne), 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce. Add more if you like spicier chili.
