Too spicy! Nothing great.
Delicious! I lightened it up with chickpea pasta and you would never know the difference!
Perfect, use a nice brown ale and 28oz crushed tomatoes/14oz diced
No cheese,beans?WOW!
This was delicious! The family loved it I did add a packet of chili mix for seasoning and some velveeta. My son is picky when it comes to spicy food so I’ll probably cut the spices a little next time. He still ate his plate though. Thank you!
Loved this recipe! Delicious. Super easy to make. I added cheese and a spoonful of sour cream.
This was great and easy. I did cut the cumin and chili powder. I feed one that is sensitive to heat from peppers. I added sharp shredded cheese. I actually love the Sargento’s traditional shredded. I added some smoked paprika for a good smoky taste – probably a heavy teaspoon full. Enjoy!
Great recipe but start with half the amount of chili powder. Our family loves hot but this was a little over the top for some of us.
I modified with what I had in the house. I used buffalo sauce and a package of brown gravy mix added some water. And added kidney beans. Excellent.
