When it’s cold outside Sweet Chili is the perfect dinner choice. This sweet chili recipe is the perfect combination of sweet with a little kick- it’s the ultimate cold weather comfort food. This easy recipe is one your whole family will love. It’s also a great choice for game day, or a snow day.
This recipe is the perfect way to introduce children to chili with its slightly sweet flavor. The departure from traditional chili with the addition of a little brown sugar while cooking gives this chili a flavor of its own. Find the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.
While the recipe calls for just enough spice for a little kick, feel free to add enough red pepper to suit your taste. When I serve this chili to a crowd, I offer the red pepper shaker to those who like a real kick in their chili.
Serve this sweet chili with a heaping basket of corn bread muffins. 
Like the majority of my favorite recipes, this one is quick and easy. Plus it freezes well, so cook a huge pot and enjoy it all winter long!
