I have to say it was the best Chili that I have made. My family loved it and there was not a drop left. I made enough for 20 people. I did make some changes but just added some different beans. The rest was as the receipt called. Thank you.

Perfect chili recipe. I will, although, use a medium onion next time I make it. I actually only let it simmer 30 minutes and it was ready to eat. Yum!
Melissa Mccormick
Tastes great exactly as written
Megan Hooper

I mostly stuck to the recipe. I used a 15.5 oz can of red kidney beans(this recipe didn’t say to strain and rinse so i just poured the whole can in), a 14.5 oz can of hunts diced tomatoes with green peppers, celery and onion and i used half of a small onion. I’m not a huge fan of onions to begin with, but this came out very good. i also don’t have a working stove so i made it in a crock pot. i browned the meat at 250°ish and when i added all the other ingredients, i turned it down to in between warm and 200° and let it do whatever it did, stirring every 15ish minutes until i thought it was the right consistency. thank you for your recipe!!!

This was a good basic and easy recipe. I added the chili spice packet mix to the beef just after it had browned and let it saute for a few minutes before adding the beans, tomatoes (I used Rotel), and water. The end result was really good and my husband loved it. I will make it again, much better than chili straight out of a can.

This is a great “starter” chili. Once you get the hang of the recipe you can play around with ingredients and spices. I built a great chili from this recipe! I have added garlic powder, ground red pepper, and onion powder to this recipe along with a few other special ingredients. Thanks and definitely yum!

very tastey chili
Hannah Fisher
I have made this recipe twice. super easy, quick and good. Note, added a can of spicy beans, garlic and a couple pinches of red pepper flakes to add a little heat.
Brian Davis
I used Bush’s Best Chili Magic Traditional Mild Chili Starter instead of the beans called for in the recipe. Excellent!!
Valerie Jones
Made chili as instructed and added bow tie noodles!
Paul Hodges
Very good!! I added 2 cans of chili’s and doubled the chili powder. Next time I will need to add more chili powder but overall a great hearty meal to last a few days. My 13 month old loved the chunks of meat and tomatoes!!
Roberta Crawford
I loved this chili. Between my husband and myself we ate the entire batch! I only added garlic, other than that I made it as directed. Definitely will make it again!
William Maldonado
A quick and satisfying chili.
David Moran
I really liked this chili. I did add some more spices but I always do. I added beef broth and red pepper flakes along with two different types of green peppers for a little flavor. I will make this again before Winter is over. Also made cornbread to go with.

Peter Thompson
I made this in a crockpot on low for 7 hours . Doubled the recipe except only used 3 tsp of chili instead of 4. I put a can of diced tomatoes at the end and stirred. Guess what? I won first place In a chili cook-off at work!! Best overall chili out of 20 entries!! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe!

Great, easy recipe! I made a couple of changes. I used soy-based ground beef substitute, figuring that all the spices would mask any off-flavors (which they did). I generally use whatever kind of beans I happen to have in the pantry. I also used a can of plain diced tomatoes, and a small can of green chili peppers. Finally, I didn’t have any chili seasoning mix, so I just added a little extra chili powder. It’s a great recipe that tolerates being tinkered with very well. I try to keep a couple of servings in containers in the freezer, for a quick lunch.

I made this for dinner tonight. I used it for Frito pie. I had to tweak it a bit as I forgot to check my pantry before I went to the store for ingredients. I used a can of of light red kidney beans and a can of tomatoes with okra and corn. I used McCormick mild chili seasoning with 30% less sodium seasoning mix. It was delicious! I simmered it for only 30 minutes. Will make it again!
Courtney Williams
Great
