Game Day Chili To Go is the perfect recipe to make for a Super Bowl Watch Party! Your guests can grab a jar of chili, sit on the couch and watch the game. Mason jars make this recipe portable for carrying and easy after party clean up that only requires the dishwasher.

Game Day Chili Served Two Ways

I serve this Game Day Chili two ways. Four jars I serve with toppings such as: chips, cheese, and sour cream. The other four, I bake with a cornbread topping. If you leave the cornbread topping off, then this recipe is ready in only 20 minutes! I always have leftover cornbread batter that I turn into cornbread muffins. I bake the muffins at 400° for 18-20 minutes, until they are golden brown. I use Simple Truth Organic Gluten Free Cornbread Baking Mix to make the cornbread topping which I find at Kroger or Harris Teeter.

This Game Day Chili is a make ahead meal so you can have it ready before your guests arrive. I keep the jars in the oven at 200° to keep the chili warm until ready to serve. When it’s about time to eat, I remove the jars from the oven and allow them to cool before handing them to my guests.

I’m all about short cuts, so that’s why I chose to use McCormicks Organic Chili Mix. It’s gluten free and has a mild heat profile. Not all chili mixes are gluten free, so be careful when choosing one. Most brands contain flour which helps to thicken the chili, but this specific chili mix replaces the wheat flour with rice flour.
