whole-wheat crepes made with skim milk, egg whites, and flour. The taste makes it impossible to tell that they are healthier than a regular crepe.

Reviews
I have never made it with wasabi paste. The first time I made it, I thought it was too soupy so I hold back a lot of the liquids especially from the tomatoes. I use bouillon cubes instead beef broth. I use freeze dried coffee instead of brewed. Sometimes I add 2 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa. I love this recipe. The people I share it with like it too.
Don’t sleep on this chili recipe! It was fantastic and I think my two boys would have eaten the entire pot if I hadn’t put it away knowing it will be even better on Day 2!
It was the best chili I ever made! Great blend of spices and just the right amount of spice heat. I added 1/4 cup of liquid smoke and a teaspoon of Smoked Paprika. Will make it again for sure!! I tied for first place in our family chili cook off!
One change. My hot italian sausage I cut in thick chunks. I like big bites, full of flavor and texture. Couldn’t find a serrano. Who knew? Outstanding recipe.
I was a little worried this would be off the charts spicy, but it was PERFECT! We substituted a jalapeno pepper for the habanero. We will make again, however, we plan to double the beans. We like a thick chili, this was more like chili soup, Tons of liquid. It was delicious!
This recipe has promise, but a big no to the brown sugar. Wasabi gives it a weird flash, horseradish might be a better substitute here. Beer content is way too much, had to cook it down and let it rest. Needs a lot of tweeking, but yes to the italian sausage and beef. Coriander added a not so great taste (as a chili).
This has been our go-to chili for years, Everyone who tries it loves it. We add a bit more kick to it by adding more habanero chilis.
Won a chili cook-off with this today. Super spicy, but so delicious. Followed exactly except I added a stick of butter at the end. Will make this again in a heartbeat!
This recipe looked great but seemed a little extreme to me, so I scaled back on the odd ingredients and loved it! I did not use any beer, dressing, coffee, or wasabi paste. I used lean beef to counter the fatty sausage. It turned out great! Full of flavor, very hearty, not really brothy, but everyone loved it and is asking for it again!
Absolutely delicious! Perfect blend of hot and flavor. Followed the recipe and only added an extra habanero trying to add more spice. Not one person said it was too hot and it won the work chili cook off! Will definitely make this one again.
Doesnt taste different from other chili i’ve made. Still good tho
Made this for a work party a few years ago, now it is requested for every work function.
My friend had made this chili and it was delicious. They told me where to find the recipe so I tried making it. It turned out fantastic. My whole family loved it. Thank you for the best chili recipe ever!
My husband loves this chili!!
Tastes a lot better without beans Also add a tablespoon of lemon pepper gives a perfect Zing
I was looking for a new chili to try and here it found me. This is a pretty darn good chili so thanks for the recipe!
This was amazing!!!! It was a big hit with the four of us!! We like spicy food, and were concerned with all of the peppers, but it was just right for us! We were amazed at the complexity of flavors and the texture was just right—-thick and hearty!! I did substitute ground turkey for the ground beef, and tossed in a full pound of the hot Italian sausage instead of the 3/4 pound. Best chili I ever made!!!
Outstanding- though I did used jalapenos and Sambal olek instead of the anaheim and seranno chilies. I just can’t take it this hot and had the others on hand. Can always add more to desired level of heat. Served with GF cornbread, this almost GF chili is perfect on a cold night.
Best of the best. I’ve made it MANY times. I always make it a day before eating and it’s amazing. I don’t change anything other then I use venison in place of the hamburger.
Made for a chili contest at work. I loved all the flavors meshing together . The women at work thought it was “too hot”. Really it was delicious and the males in the plant loved it. Used Guiness and espresso . Will make again definitely !
Great chili, but came out with a lot of liquid, I prefer thicker chilis. Next time I will skip the can of broth altogether.
