We started out the year dedicated to eating better and staying more active as a family. I can say that we’ve accomplished this and more and that’s why it was so easy to partner with V8 for their V8 VegOut! Challenge! That’s why we are encouraging more families to “veg out,” and since V8 is on a mission to get the world to step up and celebrate veggies now is the perfect time for you to join in on all the fun!
Start out by liking V8 on Facebook and join in on the fun daily challenges, dares and surprises all while taking your own love for veggies up a notch. Throughout the campaign, V8 will be sharing recipes and fun facts. Feel free to share these with your followers as well.
Fall is here and one of our family favorites for dinner is chili. Load it up with extra vegetables and the kiddos won’t know that their favorite dinner is now even better for them with V8! 
7-Ingredient Chili Recipe
Ingredients –
- 1 lb ground beef
- 3 1/2 cups Low Sodium V8®
- 2 cups kidney beans
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 chopped onion
- 1 chopped bell pepper
The the fall and winter the best meals are the ones that are simple and cooked slowly over long peroids of time. This recipe is one of those that you can make and then allow to simmer all day. It will be ready to go by dinner and is packed full of flavor. 
The only thing I like to do is cook the ground beef ahead of time and then add it into the vegetable mix. Allow to simmer for an hour or more for flavor.
Serve with a warm corn bread and by far this is my kids favorite meal for fall and it’s really filling and great for a cool day. It’s also packed full of vegetables which makes me feel great too! 
It’s easy to pack more vegetables into your meals with V8! Find V8 on Facebook, Instagram and be sure to follow on Twitter!

We all love chili in our house. Your recipe sounds awesome.
Why didn’t I think of that? I’m going to use V8 next time I make chili.
This looks delicious. We definitely need to add more veggies to our diet.
I have always liked drinking V8 ever since I was a kid. My friends and cousins would thing it was gross me downing a whole glass of it but I loved it! I use it now in my stews but I like your idea of using it in chili!
We love V8! What a great idea making chili with it! I feel like chili is supposed to be this super complex thing, so thanks for the simplified recipe. 🙂
What?! V8 in chili?! Never tried it but it makes total sense, trying your recipe the next time I make chili!
We love making chili in the slow cooker, especially during the winter. The all-day cooking makes the house smell so good!
I’ll have to look at what varieties of V8 are offered because this looks really nice. I’ve always been so locked in with the same chili recipe. I can’t believe it!
Ohh, chili is one of my fall favorites. Perfect and hearty for a chilly day. I will have to make this!

I have never thought to use V8 in chili – or in cooking at all for that matter.

Mmm, yum! I wouldn’t have thought to use v8 in chili, but it sounds good! Your photos are beautiful.
