This was delicious. I cooked my own pinto beans and added a little more seasonings than called for. I didn't have any cayenne pepper so added a couple drops of hot sauce. I normally cheat and use packaged seasoning but proably won't again. This is much better for me, too - no additives or preservatives.

This was really good. Even my chili hating husband liked it. I doubled the recipe. Due to other reviewers saying that there was a strong tomato flavor, I didn't double the tomato sauce. Also, next time I will drain one of the cans of tomatoes. There was just a little too much liquid for me. I also added more than double of the chili powder and cumin. We only added about 1/4 t. cayenne since my husband and one of my little ones don't like anything spicy. We will probably tweak this a little but it will definitely be a keeper at our house. Thanks for sharing!

I was looking for a good chili-bean recipe for PINTO beans. Instead of using canned beans, I made my own homemade beans, which I haven't done in a very long time. The next day, I put together this recipe and it was really good. Everyone loved it. After making this recipe again a second time, the beans turned out even more delicious than the first time:-) This is definitly a keeper! Thanks Melanie:-)

I love this recipe! I have been making this one for years now. I picked it because it didnt have a long list of weird ingredients. Most of the time I follow the recipe exactly as written and I always make a double batch. Every now and then I will add extra chili powder. This is a wonderful, homemade, simple, and delicious chili!!

Great recipe! I've made this many times now adding some of my own spices and letting it cook in the crock pot all day. I switched to using ground turkey and it is super yummy and healthy. I also add black beans along with chili beans, onion and green pepper. I serve it with low fat sour cream, tortilla chips and cheese. I really like the spices for this recipes. Comes out perfect every time.

Very tasty and easy! Will double next time....A Couple questions - Should the beans be drained first? I did, but wasn't sure. Also - could not find cayenne pepper at my grocery store so just used some red pepper flakes to spice it up!

I started with this basic recipe, but since I don't much care for tomatoes I halved the diced tomatoes, and doubled everything else, with both pinto and kidney beans as suggested. It came out pefectly for me! I liked the good flavor, but limited number of ingredients, because some of the chili recipes I found were way too complicated.

It wasn't flavorful enough- felt more like a tomato sauce than a chili.

So very easy and tasty. I ended up adding more of all of the spices. It was a *tad* bit on the tomato side, even with 1.4 lbs. of meat. Topped with green onions and shredded cheese. Oh, and I threw in half a can of diced green chiles that I needed to use.

This chili is good! Thank you, Melanie! My family loved it. I followed the recipe pretty much as is, except I used kidney beans instead of pintos (I didn't have pintos on hand). I served it with sprinkled cheddar cheese on top and a side of cornbread. This is especially good on a cold winter night. Mmmm... good!

Thanks for the great reviews! I actually tweek this recipe everytime I make it, and look for suggestions from others. Just to correct one basic thing, I do cook the garlic with the onions.

This recipe served as a very handy framework when I had to come up with lunch using the ingredients my boyfriend had in his pantry. I still had to make a few substitutions, and I used chopped up veggie burgers instead of actual meat, but I came up with a very nice chili. I will continue to use this recipe as a guideline, but probably still tinker with it, 'cause that's just what I do!

Guess it's just me. I didn't care for this recipe, I've had better. Maybe it's cause I used ground turkey instead (I don't care to buy ground beef). Although it's never been a factor on some of the other chili recipes I tried on here and really liked. But all the other reviews are good, so don't listen to me! LOL

This is a great recipe. I was looking for a chili recipe without any exotic ingredients and this is it. I doubled the chili powder and added more garlic. For the diced tomatoes, I got the ones with chilis in them. I also omitted the tomato sauce and instead added about three cans of tomato juice. I think it would have been too think with tomato sauce. Oh yeah, it doesn't say, but make sure you drain your beef after you brown it. Thanks!
