We loved it! I thought it was a simple chili to make and it tasted just as good as the others I've labored over. I'll make it again soon.

Very easy and tasty. I made a few adjustments - omitted the soup, water and cumin. I added 2 cups of tomato sauce and the chili was hearty and very tasty. Served it with some cornbread and a salad for a nice winter dinner.

Edible and easy, but also plain and bland I thought.

I've made this recipe half a dozen times and it comes out excellent every time. If it seems un-spicy or bland, just add a few drops of ghost pepper sauce. It's wicked hot so only maybe 10 drops to the whole crock pot. Also the most recent time I made it, it was a bit soupy so I threw in a handful of cornstarch and it thickened to a better consistency. Also it only feeds 3-4 hungry people, not 6.

Super cheap, quick, and easy to make. I sauté my meat, drain, and then place meat and all ingredients in a cast iron skillet, cover, and simmer for about an hour. Tastes wonderful! Receive many positive compliments on this.

excellent base recipe! I made this today for dinner and was pleasantly surprised. I do not like to much spice, so I used 3 TBSP or chili powder, 1T basil, 1T oregano 1 bell pepper, 1 heaping T of brown sugar and left out the cumin.

I was just not impressed with this recipe, but I can see how others would love it. I took the advice of all the reviewers and I still ended with the common problems that this dish has presented for others. It was very watery although I chose not to add 1/2 cup of water. It still struggled with flavor despite me adding taco seasoning, tbsp. of salsa, salt and pepper, brown sugar, paprika, red pepper flakes, and basil. It does help to reduce the amount of chili powder otherwise it would have been way too spicy for my family's liking. I don't think that I will try this recipe again, but if I did I would drop the cumin from the recipe. I would also drain the diced tomatoes. Even though I drained my beans I think the tomatoes added a lot of water that made the dish take a wrong turn. My chili was very watery.

This was an excellent recipe. Make it as requested the first time, try it. And then you will be able to determine what else u can use or subtitute to make your very own "famous chilli".
