The Office Kevin’s Chili
“This is it folks. My own personal go-to chili recipe,” actor Brian Baumgartner, who played chili expert and accountant Kevin Malone on NBC’s “The Office,” writes in his “Seriously Good Chili Cookbook.” Baumgartner captured hearts in Season 5 when his character makes and magnificently spills a big batch of chili, but unlike that character, Baumgartner did not have a recipe handed down for generations. Instead, he created his own recipe after much testing and adjusting. He relies on Bush’s mild chili sauce beans for a flavor boost, but you can use your favorite beans. His topping suggestions are: shredded cheese, sour cream, pickled jalapeños, avocado mash and crumbled tortilla chips. We liked it with chopped red onion, too.”
