This chili recipe is fabulous! The texture and thickness is perfect! Like most people, I did make a few minor changes...instead of tomato juice, I used V-8. Instead of pinto beans, I used black beans because I had them on hand. Lastly instead of the tomato sauce, I used 2 cans of chili style diced tomatoes that I pureed with my hand blender...also because it's what I had on hand. Even with these minor changes, I think I stayed pretty close to the original recipe. This will be my "go to" chili recipe from now on!

Like many other reviewers, I also made a couple of changes...I increased the cinnamon and used apple cider instead of milk (sounded strange to me), but these were fabulous! So easy and such a great addition to our otherwise run of the mill "breakfast dinner". Thanks for the great recipe!

I have used this site for years and this is the first recipe I've ever rated. So easy and MUCH better than any grocery store rotisserie chicken! Thanks for the wonderful recipe. It's a keeper!
