Reviews
This is a very easy chili to make and it is delicious. I’ve made it several times and played with the recipe to my liking.
I followed recipe, but was a little disapointed. it is not as tasty as many other chili recipes. I added some worshester sausce, which helped, some
It’s a great starting point for chili! I love to add brown sugar and cocoa powder! Or just the way the recipe says is great too!
I left out the Bell Pepper. Not a fan. This is good ol’ regular chili!
Tasty for a different change in chili.
I didn’t have a jalapeño and we love it. I’m sure it’s great with the pepper also. I half the recipe (just 2 of us) but add the whole can of beans. Served with cornbread
My first time making chili, and I’m no chili aficionado, but I think this was pretty good! I was just looking for something easy to put together with ingredients I have at home and this certainly fit the bill. the only adjustment I made was to add an extra can of black beans. Very good. Hubby and son liked it as well.
No changes at all. Great chili recipe. If you want to add more spice, do it. An easy chili recipe I will use from now on.
I have made this so many times and it is simple and delicious!
very taste
This is a very easy and delicious recipe. If you use an Instant Pot, it is ready in no time!
I added chopped carrots and celery omitted onions (I’m allergic)
I used ground chicken instead of beef. It was delicious.
Great and Easy to make. I did not add cumin.
I would add another meat and beans to kick it up some
Very good chilli. I used 5 fresh chilli peppers in place of the chilli powder. I cooked it without salt and it still had really good flavor.
Turned out Fabulous…looks just like your picture..!
Added tin of black beans for more fibre and reduced the hot peppers but otherwise followed the recipe and made it in the slow cooker. Family liked it.
Made this just as written, and It was good. We have had better chili, so we will use another recipe next time.

Delicious! Even my picky eater loved it. A little spicy, just how we like it.
