Average chili recipe. Better than canned hormel, but not as good as stagg's canned chili. This chili is very average. Its almost like a base to modify off of. Im sure it would taste better if it was modified, but I cooked it as the recipe stated. The heat was great for me, but I think the chili amount might have other people gasping for water. So, if you cant handle hot, back off on the amount of chili powder. I thought it was just the right amount of meat to bean ratio. Just enough meat in my bowl for the amount of beans. Thickness came out right too. Not too watery, and not too dry. This is a fair recipe.

I have the dish right in front of me right now. Followed the instructions to the letter. Im not sure how this recipe gets a high rating. The liquid smoke adds to the smell, not so much to the flavor. I was rather disappointed in it. Its not absolutely horrid. Its edible. The taste flavor of the combine ingredients sweetened up the tofu. Combined with the rest of the ingredients, gave it a flavor (takes another bite) thats unique. The sesame seeds gave it a little extra crunch, but couldnt save how not so good this recipe is. Its a little sour due to the vinegar. (takes another bite) Ok Im done, i cant eat anymore. Its going straight to fido.
