I made this for a brunch bday party for my daughter. It was very yummy and time-saving. Since it was for young kids, I only added a few onions and no peppers (though when I make it at home, I certainly will) as previous reviewers suggested. Also as per previous reviews, I did add the cheese right to the casserole. This took and hour and 40 minutes to cook. Be sure to drain your sausage well, my partner didn't do that for one and it seemed to take longer to cook. This is a keeper! (Be sure to add salt and pepper to your taste before cooking!) :)

This chili was pretty good--I thought it'd have a drastically different flavor with the cumin and bacon, but it really didn't. Perhaps it depends on what sort of chili seasoning packet you use--I usually don't use a packet, so maybe next time I'll do everything the same, except flavor it as I usually do with my own homeade chili. The veggies were great and I just cut up the other halves of the peppers and diced up double of everything else and froze a ziploc with the beginnings of the next batch of chili--which was the time consuming part. I simmered mine for 3 hours, adding water when it started to look dry. Thanks though! I got me to try something different!

Wowsie has this one EASY EASY EASY and did it ever taste good! My husband made this--and it was about the 3rd thing I've EVER seen him cook! We made it with pecans since that's what we had, and ate it right out of the oven with vanilla icecream. It was excellent! And I'm not really a cherry pie person OR a coconut lover. This will be a staple--especially when I need something really quick!!
