I took the advice of others and reduced the bbq sauce and chili powder. Every said it was good and really like the sausage taste. Recv'd one request for recipe.

I made this recipe for all my coworkers.It was a hit! The only thing I did different was I added venison. The bbq sauce and the chocolate make this one great!

I like spicier chili but other than that it was good. I guess I could've made it spicier myself but I wanted to try the original recipe first.

OMG!! I had the assignment to bring chili to a potluck because I was one of the only caucasians participating and they wanted really good chili (apparently us white girls can do that?). Anyway, I was under a lot of pressure to succeed in my assigned task and certainly did not want to dissapoint. This was a BIG HIT!! Everyone loved it. I of course took no credit, but announced it was Rick's chili recipe. There was a couple servings left over so they got put in ziplocs and put in the freezer for Mondays lunch. Unfortunately the refrigerater decided to break over the weekend and we lost those two precious bags of Chili Rick. Tears were shed!

I thought this was great (so did my husband!). I used unsweetened cocoa powder instead of the chocolate and it was good (the cocoa can had substitution quantities). It gave the recipe a hint of something different without being obvious. I usually wouldn't mix all of those meats, but I had them on hand, so it worked. It would be easy to make with red kidney beans and then add another bean too (white northern or black bean). Yummers!

Very tasty. I did make a few changes: I used smoked sausage, which I cut into fourths. Also, like many others, I cut the amount of BBQ sauce to about 18 ounces, and I also used 2 cans of kidney beans, 1 can medium chili beans, and 1 can black beans (rather than 4 cans kidney). This adds a little variety with the beans, and also makes for interesting mix of colors. I also cut back on the chili powder. The only thing mine lacked was enough kick. Next time, I'll likely try to find a way to re-add the kick without changing the flavor.

Fantastic chili. Just entered this into a contest today and got first place overall. My wife (who does not like chili) said I could make this again any time. I can't understand why some people would reduce the amount of chili powder. I used the full 1/2 cup and it was barely medium hot. It may seem like a lot, but this recipe makes more than the 20 servings it says. Changes I made replaced two cans of kidney beans with cans of medium chili beans. Italian seasoned diced tomatos two small cans of diced green chilis In the next batch, I would cut back a little on the BBQ sauce as that seemed to overpower some of the other flavors.

Very good basic recipe. Here are the changes I made: first, I cut the chili powder to about 1/2. Second I used sweet sausage instaed of hot and third, I used tomato puree instead of tomato sauce. I think the bacon and sausage make a big difference and also the unsweetened chocolate. Great flavor. It was easy and really good. I served the chili over pasta. Next time I will try rice. Thanks!

I won first place in the mild category using this recipe. I used about half the chili powder, 1/4 the Bar-B-Q sauce and used plain ground sausage instead of spicy. I also added some brown sugar about an hour before the contest. I've made it twice now and everybody thats tasted it just loves it. If serving at a contest just serve crackers. Sour cream and cheese takes away the true taste of the chili. Thank's Rick...Great recipe.

My hubby and I entered this recipe in a chili cookoff yesterday and won in the Most Flavorful catergory.The note enclosed in our winnings said "What a mouth pleaser that was!"Great Job" We cut back on some of the ingredients and used organic ground bison and swet italian sausage for the meat.One can of black beans and one can of dard red kidney beans..Added one bulb of sliced garlic and 1/4 tsp. of cumin. Cut way back on the chili powder to one tsp. and one cup of the barbeque sauce. We used uncured bacon.Neither one of us had ever made chili before so this was a real thrill to win over almost 20 other entries.

The bacon flavor got lost in the mix, I cut down the BBQ sause and still it was overpowering. I've made it twice and with some extra tinkering to the recipe it turned out great - less BBQ sause, more liquid - tomatoe juice!

Using this recipe, I won 1st place at a church chili-cook off! I noticed that others have written about similar success. The only changes I made to the recipe were using half the amount of hickory barbecue sauce and using uncured bacon. I should also note that I used Asian Indian chili powder. Thanks for sharing this fabulous recipe!

Excellent!! I love it. The chocolate is a great touch. The only thing I would recommend changing is the amount of bbq sauce. It gets a bit too much. And I added some beer, which really helped out. Thanks Rick.
