Fall Comfort Food and Chili

There’s something about the leaves turning color that makes us crave winter comfort food and chili. That’s because, like a grill with a burger, cooler temps and comfort food go hand in hand.

At Weber, shorter days and flannel shirts can only mean one thing – winter comfort food and chili recipes for the grill! Let’s take a look at a few of our favorite winter comfort food recipes.

Bundle up and grab your grill, folks. We’re putting a spin on traditional comfort foods like meatloaf, chicken soup, chili, stew and more. Let’s get the cozy going and create some grilled fall comfort food that will soothe your soul and dazzle your tastebuds.

Say goodbye to that childhood ketchup soaked bready meatloaf you fed to the dogs when your parents weren’t looking. This tarragon infused blend of beef and pork grilled meatloaf recipe will become a next-gen family favorite.

The best part is that you probably have most of the ingredients already stocked in your kitchen. Got a big family? This recipe serves up to 10 people and, prep to fork, takes just over an hour.

You’ll be grilling this meatloaf on sheet pans, so protect your hands with barbecue mitts made for grilling.

Stew may just be the quintessential fall comfort food, and nothing will turn up the heat faster than this grilled chorizo and black bean stew recipe. Featuring hints of poblano chili pepper, jalapeno pepper, chili powder and cayenne pepper for warmth, it’s sure to give you all the cozy feels.

We love this recipe as it incorporates many fresh and flavorful foods like zucchini, garlic, coriander, onion, cilantro and tomatoes – each delicious on their own – and mingles them with a Spanish-style chorizo and black bean foundation. Is your mouth watering yet?

This recipe cooks up flawlessly when made on the grill in a wok… yes, in a wok! Our Gourmet BBQ System GBS Wok was built for grill perfection. Check out our Gourmet BBQ System here.

Not only do we love chili to warm us up on those cold, fall days, but this steak and ale chili with beans recipe is also perfect for game day. Nothing says tailgating from home and cheering on your favorite team more than a big bowl of grilled chili and a robust pale ale or stout.
