The two stars are just for thickness. I didn't care for this chili. It doesn't have any other taste but tomatoes. Won't be making this again.

I just called my husband to tell him that I couldn't promise there would be any chili left for him for dinner tonight! I did tinker a bit with the recipe, but nothing drastic. I cut the recipe in 1/2 first. I don't like beef, so I use a turkey and sausage mixture for most anything calling for it(1/2 and 1/2), ommitted all peppers, used 1 (15 oz.) can Mexican chili beans instead of kidney beans, used an 8 oz. can of tomato sauce, and added 1/2 tsp of cumin to the orginal spices. It came out absolutely amazing. Thick, a bit spicy (not much b/c I have two small children), and wonderful with Club crackers. No more buying chili in a can for me, ever! Thanks so much for the recipe. I love it!

this chili is delicious. Although I doubled the recipie with half the onion and green pepper and it was plenty. Still, very good overall.

I thought this was really good! I have never made chili before, but it turned out great! I added 2 cloves of garlic with the peppers and onions, and used an extra can of tomato sauce. I ended up putting in about 3 tsp. of sugar to cut back on the acidity from the tomatoes. I also left out the pepper, so it wasn't very spicy, but I added a little bit of Cayenne pepper. Will definitely make again!

This turned out great... BUT there should be a warning in the recipe for us beginners- do not slice habanero peppers with your bare hands!! I still can't eat the next morning with my hands- my lips are burning off if I touch them. Washing with soap and water will NOT help. Best bet- wear gloves.

This chili was good! Not the best, but easy and tasty. I don't like soupy chili so i took the advice of a previous reviewer and used only 2/3s of the tomato sauce and added a can of diced tomatoes. Also, to keep it on the lighter side, I used ground turkey instead of beef. In the end it lacked a little somthing, so I added a cube of mexican chocolate and a dash of cumin and that made it really yummy! Over all, this is a quick, easy, and tasty chili.

This was the first time I ever made chili, and I have to say it turned out pretty good. However, I did add a bit more habanero pepper because I like it hot, however it wasnt a great idea, as it turned out to be a little too hot. It was still really good though.

Wonderful recipe. This is my new chili recipe. I have made it numerous times. Just the right amount of spice with a wonderful flavor. Freezes well.

My husband and daughter loved this chili because of its thickness. Personally, I thought it was too "tomatoey" and was planning to add a little bit of sugar to combat the acidity of the tomatoes when they went on and on about this chili. I would rate it between a 3.5 and 4 for my personal taste. Thought it lacked heat and spice.

I used 1/2 sausage and 1/2 hamburger, based on what I had available in the freezer, and the taste was excellent. This recipe received rave reviews from my wife and son--both somewhat particular eaters. This recipe doesn't offer chunks of tomato, which I missed a little, but the flavor was excellent. I used several drops of hot sauce and probably 1/2 teaspoon of hot wings sauce and though the chili was hotter than a normal batch, I didn't end up with a flavor even close to tex/mex hot. If you like HOT, consider adding more hot sauce than the recipe calls for -- but use caution (add a little at a time).

Very good recipe! I changed it a little bit by adding 2 cloves of minced garlic, and instead of habenero pepper I did 2 jalepeno peppers not seeded.

Great Chili! I added hot chili beans and had a jalapeno instead of the hotter pepper, but it worked out nicely. Everyone in my family loved it! I will use this as my basic chili recipe.

Excellent ~ I only used 1/2 habanero, but could have used the whole thing. I added extra hot sauce (Frank's), and a pinch of ground cumin seed. I also added some elbow macaroni because I like chili-mac! One more thing, a half a bottle of beer added right before simmering was great to add also!

This was tasty recipe. I usually like my chilli a little thicker than what this recipe makes. I will make this again, but next time I'll only add one can of tomatoe sauce, and try 2 cans of diced tomatoes instead. It is also very spicy!!! So caution is advised! Don't add an extra habanero like I did. I love spicy stuff, but with the extra habanero it was a little over the top.

Yum, great recipe. I only used one pound of ground beef and one can of tomato sauce and a can of diced tomatoes, then added some cumin, oregano and a teaspoon of cocoa. I also skipped the habanero and added a sprinkle of ground red pepper instead of the hot sauce. This is great served with tortilla chips and tastes even better the second day. It's great served with a little shredded cheddar and some fresh chopped onion.

I've made this several times during this Winter season, and it's delicious! We don't like food that's too spicy, so I eliminated the peppers and the super-hot hot pepper sauce. It's just right! Not too spicy, but yet has awesome taste. I would recommend this anyone!

I found this to be a wonderful recipe. I made some modifications with the amount of spices. I added more garlic and chili pepper. I also added black pepper and left out the beans (not a big fan of them) and also the habnero pepper. It was great the first night and even better when I had it for lunch the next day. Thank You Brandy. I will be making this again and again. -Melissa
