Tailgate Chili

It’s been cold…really cold over the last few weeks here in Minnesota! In fact, it has been in the negative degrees for more than 3 days already. Just a couple weekends ago, our mighty Minnesota Vikings participated in one of the coldest football games in NFL history. With the NFL playoffs in full force, what better way to spend the cold weekend than by your fire, watching football and eating homemade chili with family and friends! If you plan to host a football watching party in the next few weeks, and are looking for a healthier chili option, consider using Papa George’s all natural and reduced fat pork sausage. Once your guests try this tailgate chili option, they’ll be knocking at your door every weekend wanting more!
