We love this hearty, satisfying chili, which is full of red onions, diced tomatoes, kidney beans, and chili peppers. The taco seasoning and allspice add a subtle sweet and spicy flavor, making for a nice change of pace. Whether you’re making this chili for two people or for a crowd, it’s always worth making extra so you can enjoy it again. This makes about 6 cups of chili, and if it's just the two of you for dinner tonight, you can pack the 4 cups of leftover chili in 2-cup containers and refrigerate it for up to five days; you can also freeze it for up to six months.
