My husband loves chili and I always hated making it because it always came out too thick and didn't have enough flavor. When I came across this recipe and read the reviews I thought I should try it and I'm glad I did. This chili is so easy to make and full of great flavor. I served it for guests and they couldn't get enough. Thank you for posting such a great and easy recipe. Usually I don't like to make things with tons of ingredients but this one is worth it.

Yesterday was my first time making Chili and this recipe was exceptionally easy and delicious. I made it for a work fund raiser and the whole pot was gone before I knew it. It wasn't that spicy. I was short a can of chili beans and forgot to buy a red pepper, otherwise followed the recipe. I will make it again.

OMG!!!!! I am not (let me rephrase that) "was not" very much into chili at all. This is def the recipe to make if you are looking for a Great Chili! I find myself wanting to make this all the time. The first time I made it I thought it had made a ton and I would have alot left to freeze. Well, lets just say it never made it to the freezer! It was soooooooooo good! I guarantee you will be back up for 2nds, even 3rds! Thanks so much!

I absolutely love this chili!!! The recipe is perfect, and I have had many "this is the best chili ever" comments!! I love this spicy fullness. I sometimes add more chopped up vegetables like zuchini. Also use a combination of pork sausage and ground venison.

I made this chili for my husbands co-workers (all men) for a lunch-time pot-luck. Needless to say, by 8:45am, my husband called to inform me it was all gone and they were asking for more!! Great recipe!

Needed a recipe for chili to use at a cook-off/potluck at work, and used this one...didn't have half the seasonings needed, and that made it a bit expensive (My Manager referred to it as the "40 dollar chili") But now that I have all the seasonings, I can make it w/ ease in the future. People loved it, Won second place & the Hubby, who is NOT a chili-person, sweas it is the best he's ever had & was rather sad when I told him it was all gone! I DID substitute Chicken Broth for Beer, and had no Worcestershire sauce or basil on hand...it was still a winning recipe thats goin in my personal recipe box from here on out! EXCELLENT!

To make this healthier, I substituted 99% fat free ground turkey for the beef and turkey italian sausage instead of pork sausage. I also omitted the bacon. Honestly, I was a little concerned that making it so lean would compromise the taste, but we all thought it was delicious! Could have been a little spicier, but we like spicier food than most people.

Just made for the first time and it was excellent! The first day I was worried it was too spicy for some people but by the next day was perfect. Only thing I changed was I used 3 different types of beans. Will definitely make again and again - great recipe!

This chili was delicious. I used kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans instead of the just the chili beans. I really liked the taste of the three different beans together. I also added a little more beer as I like my chili slightly less thick. The combination of spices was very tasty. Great recipe!

This is the absolute best chili I have ever made. My husband couldn't stop talking about how good it was. He loves chicken, so I seasoned, sauteed and added some to the chili with the other meats. Definitely will be making this again! Great job, thank you! Kathy Cianci, Tampa FL

Can I give it any more stars??? This was absolutely fantastic! I made exactly as is, except I used one drained can of kidney beans in place of one can of chili beans. I served with Mexican Cornbread. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I loved this recipe! The whole pot was gone in one sitting and that's a lot of chili! I didn't change a thing! I didn't have any bell peppers at home, so I didn't put any in.. That was the only difference! It was mild enough for the spice haters in the house but it had a nice little kick to it ( I prefer SUPER spicy) I will definitley make this again! Thanks for a great recipe!

Excellent! I used grnd chuck, italian sausage, and chuck steak for meats. No beans for me. Added fire roasted tomatoes and mild ro-tel in place of diced tomatoes, better than bouillon ( rather than cubes) , real bacon, 1 can green chiles, and a full can of beer. Perfect the first night. Unbeliveable 3 days later as leftovers. Thanks for this recipe.

I made this chili for a chili cookoff among friends on October 31, 2009. I searched the internet and came across this one and decided to make it due to the stellar reviews. I wanted to win this cookoff since my friends are such good cooks and thought I might have a chance with this one. Anyway, made the recipe exactly except used 2 cans dark red kidneys and 2 cans hot chili beans. I also used a whole 12oz. beer (Bass Pale Ale) instead of recommended 1/2 cup. This took longer to prep than 30 minutes for me because I fine chopped everything. Anyway, my first sample was incredible. All of the flavors stood out and left me wanting to eat another bite. I browned all the meet and sauteed all the vegetables and then put everything into a crockpot to cook about 4 hours. There were about 10 different chilis at the cookoff. I was very suprised to hear that my chili took first place. I did not tell anyone that I had just grabbed the recipe from the internet that very same day. I figured they didn't need to know that. HAhA. Awesome chili. I am making it again for this weekend. Cheers
