The recipe is good but there’s not enough sauce too it. It needs more liquids.
Wendy Sharp
love it
Catherine Taylor
It was pretty good. I feel like something is missing though.
Lisa Ramirez
I found a slightly different version of this recipe that has since disappeared. The only difference was some optional ingredients – black beans and corn. We love it. I made it for a contest at work and won!

The tequila is undetectable, so I’d just leave it out, or drink it instead! The onion doesn’t have enough time to cook down in 20. I had to go an extra 15. I’d just add the onion to the meat mixture next time to get it started. This is very meaty and thick, so if you like a little more liquid in your chili, I’d add another can of tomato sauce, or some broth. A decent basic chili, however I missed the layers of flavor that other chilis have. I served it with cheese, sour cream, green onion. I also used fire roasted tomatoes instead of Italian stewed.

Will make it again used 3 bell peppers 3 jalapenos 2 sweet onions and 3 lbs ground beef

I used the 19 oz. can of beans, and the 19 oz. can of tomatoes, and added a diced green pepper. Spice is nice, not too hot. I will make it again.
Valerie Brown
My whole family loved it. Did a slower cooker version.
Laurie Love
Did not like it. It might be the brand or type of Tequila used.
Lisa Hooper
I browned the meat, drained then added to the rest of the mixture in a crockpot on high for about 30 mins. So delicious with sour cream and cheddar shreds!
Wyatt Swanson
Mmmmm! This recipe is a keeper! It’s easy to make and has a really nice flavor. I made the recipe as stated (and I always add cheese and sour cream on top in my bowl). My husband and I kept going back for extra helpings. Now we only have enough leftover for one of us to eat tomorrow. I’ll have to make this again soon!

This recipe was a winner. Tripled the recipe for a lunch gathering. Instead of Italian-style stewed tomatoes, I used a can of regular stewed tomatoes, and 2 cans of diced tomatoes with jalapenos. Used 1 can of kidney beans and 2 cans of chili beans w/sauce. Also added a small can of diced jalapenos for a little extra heat.
Mary Walters
This was wonderful. I didn’t have the tomato sauce so I made it without that and it was great.
Julie Davis
did not like

my husband cant stand “texas” chili but i made it anyway and he tried since i made it and he absolutly loved it. he couldnt believe how good it was and that it tasted nothing like other chilis hes had. so that made me happy! oh and i loved it too, it had so much flavor!!
Mr. Thomas Lopez DDS
Awesome chili! Tequila adds a really good taste. Favorite chili recipe of all time.
Cynthia Gay
A thick, meaty chili. Very quick to make, which is nice for a weeknight meal. My dh loved it (probably because it was so meaty), but I thought it needed something (fritos!).
Jeffrey Murphy
This was a great recipe and very easy. I used ground venison instead of beef, added alittle extra garlic, topped with mexican cheese and sour cream. it will definately be a regular chili recipe in my house.
