I made this in no time. It's so easy. I used tomatoes with green chilies for extra flavor, an onion, and a can of tomato soup (with one can water ) because I rinsed the black beans and corn before putting them in. I also just added the seasonings as I tasted. The flavor is great and the bit of sweetness is perfect. Thanks for sharing.

We LOVE this chili!!!! I do increase all spices except the red pepper flakes and cinnamon, though I DO use them. Have some going in the crock pot this minute....

Knowing that my family does not like spicy things, this what a great chili. It came out smi sweet. A tsp of each and 2 tsp of the chili power where perfect. Added onion and left out the green pepper.

Good base, but needed a lot of additions to make it flavorful. Here's what I added: - Yellow Onion (how can you have chili without onion??) - 1 can of small red beans - One jalapeno pepper - Increased cumin to 1 tablespoon - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika Delicious!

The title explains it all. I have served this recipe to many guests,all very satisfied. A couple revisions I had was adding Tabasco sauce (to taste, we like spice), and about a 1/4 cup of orange juice for a little citrus flavor. It is incredible!

I made this last night for my girlfriends and it was a huge hit with them. I didn't really like it though! I added onions and extra spice per previous reviews but still thought it was a little tame. Will try again since it's so easy and everyone loved it. May throw some sriracha in the mix.

I made this for a lunch for some family that was coming over. Everyone really enjoyed it, although I added a lot of salt, and approximately one tablespoon of garlic pepper. Great recipe!! I will definitely make this again when I want NO leftovers!!

Ok - my review is based on customizations so I cannot give my true score, but the overall combination of flavors was not our favorite. I enjoyed it after the first few bites, but my wife, who loves chili, did not. We took the other reviews and went with a tablespoon of the spices...except we kept the tablespoon of cinnamon! Too sweet! However, even with the others, we felt it was a good heat level but lacked depth of flavor. Might try again sticking to the recipe, but not the best.

I add a medium chopped onion and a packet of chili seasoning (in addition to the seasonings listed). I also use low-fat chicken broth to make it the consistency I like. The cinnamon gives it an extra little something. I could take it or leave it. All in all, a good sound recipe for a cold, weekday night (quick recipe). Tastes better the second day.

This is a great recipe to start with. I made some modifications like other readers - no cinnamon, no bell pepper, drained the beans, and used frozen corn. I used a small amount of ground red cayenne pepper. My 1 year old loved it (don't worry I took his portions out before I kicked up the chili powder :). I will definitely make this again but have to do something to add some heat to my portion.
