This was my first time ever making chili....it was worth it! It is different than the one my dad makes, but definitely good. I cut some of the spices in half since we are not a spicy family, and it still had a little heat, but not enough to be too hot. The only thing I did different was to brown the meat, onions, garlic and celery first together and then threw it along with everything else into a crock pot. I also omitted the mushrooms since we don't eat them. I made this on a chilly day along with the Apple Crisp II from this site...way to warm up the day! :-)

yummy, yummy, yummy! I had rave reviews for this cake! I made chocolate w/ coke and canned vanilla frosting. I am making the next one with cherry coke and chocolate :-)

I made this today for the 2nd time and made the following changes because it wasn't chocolaty enough last time: 1/4 c plus 1 TBS of cocoa powder. Otherwise I followed exactly and they are awesome! Just like my mom's (I keep losing her recipe!)Thanks for the recipe! They didn't get hard and crumbly, just smooth and glossy and yummy! :-)
