I was intrigued by the unusual technique of this chili recipe. Usually you don't think of making a roux for chile but...it works! Followed directions exactly and spiced it up a bit with some chipotle chili powder and chopped jalapeno,cheese on top and it was perfect for our taste.

Great recipe and easy to follow. I did do some modifications like adding the spices to the onions while sauteing them, browning the mince on its own then add a cupful of beer. We like spicy food so I jazzed it up with chili garlic sauce and Cajun seasoning. Cooked it till thick but still with some liquid left in the pot as it will thicken upon standing. Served it on rice and topped with grated cheese and crushed corn chips. DH loved it, had seconds, even thirds and brought leftovers for lunch the next day.

Like others have said- this is a great base! I used ground turkey instead of beef and used cayenne pepper, ground mustard, more chili powder and even added a little sugar at the end for a little sweet/spicy kick. Served over rice. Next time I'll serve with corn muffins. This is a keeper!

Excellent base chili recipe; if you follow it word for word, I could see how some would say this dish was bland, but with a little creativity you’ve got a winner. I added green & red bell peppers, corn salsa, diced tomatoes with green chilies, poblano pepper and some Tabasco sauce. Next time I do make this I’m going to omit the whole tomatoes and just double up on diced tomatoes, maybe pop in some jalapenos too (to make it have a little more kick).

Good. Loved it myself, being the first time I made Chili con Carne, added heaps of Cinimon though because im crazy about it and served on rice with cornchips because it was quite HOT. (too hot for my mother) But everyone else enjoyed it heaps.

This is a great base recipe. To it I always add green pepper, red pepper, jalapeno, and a little salsa. I also double the cumin and chili powder. Overall an excellent base and good thick chili

I am now the BEST chili cook in my family thanks to this recipe. I added some cinnamon for a different feel, and this time will be adding Tobasco. Also, I didn't have any paste, and added double the amount of tomatoes. I am back online getting the recipe again to make a 4x batch. It just goes soooo fast!

Very fast and easy to make. I agree with other reviewers in that this chili is not very spicy. I added several dashes of Tabasco and some crushed cayenne pepper to fix it. The only real complaint I have is that the chili was not "soupy" enough; it was very chunky and was better eaten with a fork. I think added a little bit of water next time will make it better. Overall, very delicious and I will make it again.

This is one of the best recipes I've ever tasted. My husband made this. The only thing is that it was a little dry, so we added a small can of tomato sauce. To make it a little spicier we added some cayanne pepper. Otherwise, this is the best. My husband said that this recipe is a keeper! (And coming from him, it's a big compliment.)

Yes, very easy to make, used steak instead of ground beef. Took many liberties with the spices,(could see it would be bland) was still seasoning while I was getting ready to serve. Will make again.

I thought it was easy to make, but a little bland. Deffinitly not for people with a spicy taste for food. I would make it again, but adding a lot more spices.
