This easy chili recipe makes a fantastic game day recipe. It's hearty and can be made in advance. But what makes this chili really unique is that it uses cooked meat and jarred salsa (no need to boil down tomatoes or cook lots of peppers and seasonings). I like to use some type of cooked beef for this chili, like leftover brisket or pot roast. It gives it a much richer flavor than ground beef. And of course, you'll want to serve this chili with cornbread.
