I followed the recipe and everything turned out great. It has a nice blend of spices. The only problem is that it was gone in a day because everyone kept going back to get more.

You can add another 1st place trophy to the ever crowding case! This chili has amazing flavor. I did make some additions. 1 can on green chilies, 1 can of diced jalapenos, 2 cans of chili Rotel, 1 can of fire roasted tomatoes and 1/2 tsp on white pepper. And I substituted chili beans instead of kidney beans.

This is AMAZING. I am obsessed with Steak n' Shakes chili, and this hits the nail on the head. I literally cannot taste the difference. Thank you so much! My family loved it and I plan on making it regularly. I used Angus Ground chuck instead of steak, but next time I will try the steak to see if it's even better :)

I substituted venison chops for the beef (because I had too much of it in my freezer) and it tasted awesome. Great recipe!

Despite my inner cook urging me to add garlic, onions or peppers, I followed the directions. I chose this mild-mannered recipe since it would be eaten by toddlers thru adults. My first taste of this brought to mind the word 'smooth'. I set a shakers of chipotle and hot peppers on the side and offered condiments of cilantro, shredded cheddar, and chopped onions for those was wanted to jazz it up. It wasn't tomato-y or spicy, just easy to eat and well received. Great chili for those who don't like things other than meat and beans in their chili.

This was the best chili I have ever had. And that was using ground beef, instead of the steaks. I will definitely be using steak the next time to see if it can actually taste better. It is better as leftovers the next day.

Add another first place win! I did change a few things such as smoking the beef for around 30 minutes with hickory and added a red pepper and extra beans. I also added a small can of diced chiles and substituted diced tomatoes with jalapenos instead of the tomato sauce and I added an extra tsp of diced jalapenos and 1 tsp of jalapeno juice.
