I only made the fry bread part of the recipe, and I tweaked it so that it became a cross between Navajo fry bread and Chinese scallion pancakes. I increased the salt to a full tablespoon and added about 1/4 cup of chopped scallions (green onions). Oh and I also added a tablespoon of olive oil before mixing, as suggested by another reviewer, even though olive oil is neither Navajo nor Chinese. I prefer the taste of Chinese scallion pancakes, but the texture of fry bread, and this was PERFECT. Yummers!

I left out the celery because I'm not fond of it, and heartachingly left out the bell peppers even though I love them, because my boyfriend doesn't. I also used a whole can of beer, because I didn't see the point of keeping half a can around... and I hate drinking the stuff so... in it went! Put in two tablespoons of bacon bits instead of one. Oh and used sriracha hot sauce instead of the usual tabasco because I'm Asian and it's our go-to hot sauce, hehe. I know chili tastes best the day after, but I couldn't help trying some out of the crock pot tonight with Ritz crackers... YUMMMMMMMMMMMMM! Can't wait for tomorrow! =D

These have potential, so perhaps 2.5 stars. As written, they are rather bland. I would double or triple the salt and pepper. It was also difficult to taste the cheese -- half a cup more would probably be better. I wouldn't eat these plain, but they were pretty good served with Secret Burger Sauce. Despite everything, I would make these again after tweaking the recipe.
