This chili always has everyone coming back for seconds--that's because I use fresh tomatoes in the recipe. I've been married 31 years and our two grown children still like to come home to eat 'Mom's cooking'!

For a simple, speedy recipe, this chili has the rich flavor of one that has simmered a lot longer. Set on the table in the unique heart-shaped bread bowl, it's an especially 'hearty' main dish. --Kay Curtis, Guthrie, Oklahoma

When Mom came to live with me several years ago, I told her it was now my turn to cook. One goal was to enhance recipes of the great Southwest, so I experimented and test-tried several recipes. This is one of the successful attempts, and served with a fresh green salad, it has delighted many guests. --Bob Wyatt Kansas City, Missouri

No one ever guesses the 'secret ingredient' in this recipe that I created. A can of mushroom soup is what makes the chili so thick and creamy. Take this spicy concoction to a fall potluck or church dinner, and watch folks warm up to it! -Elizabeth Mays, Nunnelly, Tennessee
