Notes
What to serve with it: We usually eat this on its own or with a nice crusty artisan bread. You could also serve it with a green salad.
*I always used to make this with the fresh jalapeño and we loved it. Now, since we are also serving it to our kids, I usually skip it and those who wanted their chili spicier add it to their individual bowls. It's an easy way to make the dinner accessible to anyone!
