I was looking for a chili recipe that had a bit more of a beef flavor since I'm not a huge tomato person, and this one fit the bill perfectly! I followed the recipe as listed with a couple small changes. I tried the advice of another reviewer and replaced the peppers with a can of green chilis, but I would recommend using the peppers because I think they'd add more flavor and color. Also, I used half ground turkey and half ground beef, totaling about 2 pounds of meat which was a perfect amount. Lastly, I accidentally bought regular beef broth, and after realizing the recipe asked for concentrated beef broth, I simply used the can of broth I bought but also added 2 beef bouillon cubes to the bubbling chili (advice I got on Google). I took this to a super bowl party and everyone loved it. I will definitely make this recipe again!

The flavor was very good/strong. I will definitly make this again. However, this is too soupy to be chili. It needs another can of beans and another 1/2 pound of ground beef to make it more like chili. It also had a strong tomato flavor (which I liked).

I wanted a quick chili and wasn't sure how to proceed. From the name, this was created as a hot meal after trick-or-treating, but it worked for my husband and I as a snowy evening meal, and with pleanty of leftovers that I am sure will be even better. I always play with recipies to suit what I have on hand, so the changes I made were minor. No tomato juice, so I just added an extra half cup of water. I used plenty of cumin,dried oregano, garlic powder to taste, and about a teaspoon of cayenne. I had used no salt beans and reduced sodium tomatoes but I did add the teaspoon of salt and sugar, which was just enough. I had no red or green peppers so I added about half a small can of green chopped chilies. Served over rice, tomorrow over potatoes! I only refraned from five stars because this may not be what chili purists are looking for, but we liked it!
