    Perfect!

    This is currently our favorite mix. Cooking time isn’t too long, so something you could decide to make without too much planning (assuming you have the beef and broth on hand all the time). Really appreciate that the beans don’t need a lot of prep. The seasoning is perfect (we leave out the whole chile, or cook in the last half of cook time if we want a little more heat). Reminds me of the chili from a childhood restaurant.

    Made this for dinner tonight using leftover pork tenderloin. Added avocado and sour cream to the bowl and my husband gobbled it up! Amazing taste and so simple to make!

    Turned Me Into A Soup Lover

    I have made your chili & Tortilla Soup offerings & they are fantastic! Altho I’m not a soup fan the package looked so scrumptious that I tried the Tortilla soup during a winter storm in ‘21! I can’t get enough & it’s so nutritious. Thanks for the fine selection of Mexican & American favorites! They rate 5 Olés from me.

    Montana Creekside Classic Chili

    Posted by Maureen Waltman on Feb 5th 2023

    This chili is the best! So easy to make and tastes fantastic, not too spicey, just the right amount of zip to it. I suggest making two batches because when I made this for the first time, I did not have any leftovers. It was gone!

    Amazing Montana Creekside Chili!

    Posted by Lisa on Sep 8th 2021

    I happened to grab a pack of your Creekside Chili mix when I was traveling thru Kansas. I couldn't believe how clean your ingredients were and I was intrigued at the idea of chili from a bag. I am happy to say it is probably the best chili I've ever had the pleasure of tasting! Your seasoning blend is perfection! I had to find the website to see where I can get more. We just finished ordering the Bakers dozen and 4 of those were the Chili packs. Thank you for a great quality product that I can enjoy and know its good for us!
