20 of the Best Chili Recipes, Spiced from Mild to Wild

Just in time for the Fall weather and game day parties, this collection of 20 of the best chili recipes will give you bowls full of flavor, in spice levels ranging from mild to wild.

I remember a time when spicy foods were a staple in my life. I had no problem devouring plates full of spicy buffalo wings, and gut busting chili recipes were a go-to for my meal planning during the cold months. I have learned the hard way that as I’ve grown older, my stomach has become more sensitive to spicy foods, so I’ve had to start making foods a bit milder.

Because I am probably not the only person suffering with the stomach sensitivity, I decided to put these best chili recipes into categories for you. Of course, you can always adjust flavorings and spices up or down to suit the tastes of you and your family, but this will give you a starting point.
