Today Show: Bill Geist Spicy Gonzo Chili Recipe

Today Show: Willie Geist

In honor of Father’s Day, Today Show anchor Willie Geist shared one of his favorite family recipes. It was his father Bill’s Gonzo Chili, a spicy recipe you can make using just one pot.

“A lot of this stuff you probably already have in your cabinets,” Geist said. You will have to pick up the fresh ingredients, but this is a great slow-simmering recipe to leave on the stove while you take care of your to-do list. Do you have a favorite recipe that your father used to make?

“Then you can just put whatever you want,” Willie said at the toppings stage of the chili serving process. When it comes to chili, everyone has their own secret ingredients, additions, and toppings. Tell me what you think makes any bowl of chili complete. For Bill Geist, the answer seems to be extra chili powder. Leave me a comment with your suggestions and must-haves.
