"@tuttorossotomatoes @thefeedfeed (#ad) The BEST Italian-Style Chili recipe! To create the perfect meal, you need to start with quality products. In Italian recipes, canned tomatoes are an essential ingredient. The @TuttoRossoTomatoes brand offers a fresh, vine-ripened flavor of summertime tomatoes that I can count on all year round. In this recipe, I use the Tuttorosso Crushed Tomatoes with Basil to add that rich tomato flavor that is perfectly seasoned with a hint of basil. These tomatoes take my Italian chili recipe to the next level! The flavors are warm, inviting, and perfect for feeding a crowd or freezing leftovers for a rainy day. The smell of the stewed meat and veggies simmering with fresh and flavorful TuttoRosso canned tomatoes makes everyone want to grab a bowl and sit around the table. I sneak heaps of carrots, celery, green pepper, and onion to add that extra veggie boost everyone needs. It’s a recipe you will want to make all fall and winter season, guaranteed! Made with Amore, Elena #tuttorossotomatoes #feedfeed"
