Beef and Bacon Sweet Chili Freezer Meal

Dinner tonight is Beef and Bacon Sweet Chili Freezer Meal! It will forever change your view of how chili should taste. This recipe is just different enough that it’s fun and just traditional enough to remind you of home.

Chili never has been on my top ten list of favorite meals, but this one tops the charts. I did some research and I decided to throw some stuff together and I am so excited about how it turned out!

Dinner is made so much easier when food is ready to go when you get home from work. I love freezer meals so much I can’t even tell you. Amber and I are finally perfecting the freezer meal.

We 10 freezer meals this weekend and we wanted to make them for 2 to 3 people. This recipe made 3 gallon-sized bags of chili. It made about 3 bowls of chili in each bag.

We were excited when our recipes made more than we expected. The thing that puts this particular recipe over the top is the brown sugar and the bacon. Matt and I loved this recipe! You should give it a try.
