I've made this two times, once with and once without beef. Both times it was very good even though it doesn't look very appealing! This is a very simple stew that you can throw in the crock pot and walk away from until it is ready to eat. I use Italian Seasoning in place of summer savory.

As others have said, this recipe is a good starting point. It is very bland as it is written. I used about 2 tbsp of chili powder, 2 tsp of cumin, 2 tsp of allspice, and 1 tsp of seasoning salt. (After the measurements of the original recipe, I stopped measuring and seasoned to taste.) I had two turkey breasts in the freezer. So, I chopped them and browned with the ground turkey. I used about 2 cups of chicken stock to thin the chili to a consistency I liked. I also added a few handfuls of frozen corn and a can of black beans. With these changes, this was a delicious chili.

This was a great marinade. I marinaded the roast over night. It has tons of flavor. I will definitely make again!
