What foods come to mind when you think about Super Bowl party foods? I'm willing to bet chili pops up on just about everybody's list, and there are plenty of good reasons why chili is popular. Chili is both nutritious and economical, it's easy to make and it can be adapted to suit pretty much every type of diet. There are chili variations with chicken, turkey, beef, pork, or other more unusual meats, as well as vegetarian chile recipes that don't contain meat. There are chilis with black beans, pinto beans, white beans, or a combination of bean types, or chili recipes with no beans at all. The one ingredient chili must have is some type of ground or chopped chile peppers; that's where the name chili comes from.

No matter what else you're eating for Super Bowl Sunday, there should be at least one kind of chili to round out the menu. I can't imagine how many different chili variations there are, but for Superbowl XLIV, here are forty-four chili options I found on food blogs all over the country. Check out the chili recipes that sound good, then let us know in the comments which of these chili recipes you'd like to try. (And if you have your own great recipe for chili, let us know about that in the comments too!)
