Award winning indeed! I won 1st prize in against 11 other chilis in our annual office chili contest. Like others, I "customized" the recipe. I tripled it, used fire-roasted tomatoes instead of stewed, didn't use the tomato paste but added a whole jar of hot fire-roasted hot sauce, added two jalapanos, substituted celery salt for celery, and did add the carrots BUT pulled them out just before serving (that way we got the flavor but didn't have to explain why there were carrots in the chili!). Oh...and used a WHOLE POUND of bacon. And anything with a pound of bacon in it BETTER be good! Thanks--this is my chili standard from now on!

We make a lot of chili, and this just isn't the recipe for us. I think the steak sauce might be the problem. It turned out ok, but after all of the reviews, I was hoping for more.

I chose not to use the carrot or celery, like others. I also used red wine instead of white, added a couple dashes of hot sauce, and omitted cilantro/parsley. I had crushed tomatoes, instead of the stewed, and I ended up using the entire 28 oz. can, because it was a little too thick otherwise. Also, used a packet of taco seasoning instead of chili seasoning, because that's what I had. It was great and also quick and easy!

I am not a huge chilli fan and I've never made it before. But this was very good and everyone raved about it! I changed a few things, I used a whole red pepper and green pepper, one jalepeno and a small can of green chillies. Added two cans of beef broth and a can of tomatoe sauce since all the reviews said how thick it was. It was award winning in my book!

This is awesome. FYI I used Aylmer Accents cracked black pepper and roasted garlic stewed tomatoes and roasted garlic tomato paste. For the steak sauce I used HP Bold and Old-Al-Paso chili seasoning mix. The bacon was maple smoked. I don't eat meat very often but if I was going to cheat I'm happy it was with this dish! Absolutely delicious!

I made 7 (seven) gallons of this amazing chili for a cook-off yesterday. (28 Jan. 2012). I was competing for our Humane Society, and was up against chefs from some of the best restaurants in town. It was my chili vs. experienced chefs' chili. It was a hit and I took 2nd place! (out of over 20 entries). I made a few adjustments because I was making such a huge amount. I omitted the fresh cilantro, and used dried parsley instead of fresh. I grated carrots into the chili instead of chunks. The carrots cut the acidity of the tomatoes nicely. I used more wine than suggested. (some for me, some for chili). I also opted for fire roasted, jalapeno diced tomatoes and gave it more "heat" by adding pepper sauce with the pepper flakes. I put in celery salt, replacing the celery. I added garlic powder and used a lot of ground chuck. (chili should be extra meaty for competitions). I put the packet of chili seasoning directly into chili instead of with the meat. This is a wonderful chili recipe & I recommend chili lovers to make it.
