Growing up I wasn't the biggest fan of chili. I don't think I'd grown into liking beans so well yet and I was never one for dishes overly heavy with red meat.

Now as an adult I realize that chili is so much more than the Wendy's chili my parents always ordered on the rare occasions we ate fast food as a kid.

A decided chili fan these days, these are our top 5 favorite chili recipes of all time. Make a batch of our skillet jalapeño cornbread, dig in and enjoy!
