Jamaican Chili

  4.4 – 69 reviews  • Beef Chili Recipes

This cheesecake ice cream has a wonderful tang to it. The same components are used to make it as you would to make a vanilla cheesecake filling. You can also use your preferred berries and, if you’d like, top each dish with crushed graham crackers.

It is a hit with everyone.
Nicole Johnson DDS
It has a unique flavor. I’ve made it twice and both times it was delicious!
Scott Flores
We made this chili with a few additions and entered it into a chili cook off at my kids school. We had a “Pirates of the Caribbean theme” and this chili was perfect for a Caribbean flare! We won first place! We used shredded pork seasoned with Jamaican jerk seasoning instead of beef, and added bacon and a hint of BBQ sauce (just to add our own flare to it, but it was great before the changes too). We offered mangos, cilantro, and two specialty sour creams on the side. We did a chipotle/bacon/ranch sour cream and a Cilantro/Avocado/lime. Both were great with it!!!! Everyone LOVED this chili!!!
Andrew Garcia
I took the advice of others and doubled the amount of spices req’d and took out the sugar. I also added a habanero pepper and Caribbean pepper sauce to add that extra spice and flavor. … and it came out amazing!! My parents and boyfriend loved it!!
David Chung

Theresa Davis
I made it using the original recipe. Everyone loved it! I had friends ask for the recipe.
Patrick Allen
Best Chili, made it exactly like the recipe said and it turn out great. I always make a lot so that I can freeze it.
Elizabeth Alexander
just made this chili for the super bowl. kicked up the chili powder and added a habenarro. perfect chili if you like a little burn
Jean Bailey
This was an excellent recipe. It really has a good flavoring by adding the spices with the sautéed onions before the meat is added.
Amber Rowland
A filling, flavorful chili. I used ground chicken rather than beef to make it more healthy, and used a mixture of red and yellow pepper to make it more colorful. And I found that the cooking time was way too long — after ten minutes of simmering it started burning and sticking to the bottom of the pot. Once you do all the browning and sauteing doesn’t need more than 15 cooking time tops. I served it over rice which was interesting; next time I may try mashed potatoes.
Julie Travis
This recipe is excellent! I did change a couple of things by adding in a little more meat, 1-2 peppers of your choosing (depending on how hot you want it), plus my families special hot sauce (we like it HOT)! I serve it over some basmati rice and with sour cream, cheddar cheese, and cilantro! All that being said, I won in the category for “Best Hot Chili” three years in a row! This is a great recipe!
Dana Smith
I did not add the cumin but increased the chili power and used half the sugar it won first prize at my Church chili cook off.
Dr. Pamela Grant DDS
It’s good, but needed about twice the measure of each spice.
Diane Miller
This hit all the right spots – easy, tasty and different. It made a huge pot, which I shared with co-workers and family. YUMMYYYY!!!!!!!!
Jeffrey Thompson
Way too bland for me.
Jennifer Mcdowell
Excellent chili. I froze much of it for future dinners.
Virginia Taylor
Fantastic chili with a little kick – whether you choose to add the meat or go vegetarian. Never fails to impress people and works with all varieties of beans too. I buy a few cans of “bean medleys” and it’s great.
John Fisher
This here is a good recipe! I’d have some with some Jerk Chicken! Love it!
Albert Chavez

Haley Wilson
