We asked seven Hy-Vee chefs to show school spirit with chili recipes that represent Midwest universities. And the heat is on!

  1. Wisconsin Badger Red Chili

    For a true taste of Wisconsin, the chili’s companion biscuits use Cheddar cheese and dry ranch dressing mix to develop a sharp tang.

  4. Kansas Beer-Braised Pork and Bean Chili

    Chef Kelly uses beer-braised pork to give this tasty chili a twist. Country-style ribs from the shoulder region of the pig are especially succulent and perfect for chili.

  5. Nebraska Scarlet Chili

    Instead of simmering ground beef for a long time, Chef Chris went a different route: His chili uses chopped grilled steak for delicious charbroiled flavor.
