Was disappointed after reading all the reviews. Was quite boring. I didn't add the water, added some tomato paste to add thickness, and also used 1 green pepper. It was tastey but dull with not a single hint of even the slightest kick.

Very quick meal and tasty too! I only used 1/2 cup of water and a little more chilli powder. I will be making this one again for sure!

easy easy... i made 2.4 lbs and didnt up the spices, beans. Which has caused it to be bland. My man spiced it up though. More chili powder, roaster sause (we like it hot), onion salt, and a can of mixed geen chilies.

I gave this recipe 4 stars because it's a good starter recipe, but you have to spice it up a bit. I used mexican chili beans instead of kidney beans. I also added green pepper in mine. Finally, instead of chili powder I used chili seasoning and didn't add any water. It's runny enough with the tomato sauce and juices from the other canned items. With these substitutes, it was very yummy.

Very easy, very good -- only complaint is that it doesn't make enough for seconds! I was feeding four adults, and we pretty much scraped the pot clean (I didn't look closely at the servings in the recipe before I started). I will double the recipe next time. Increased chili powder and decreased water as others suggested, along with adding garlic cloves to the meat. I don't like things very spicy, but I used just short of 1 T chili powder -- it was around 2-1/2 teaspoons, and it was the perfect amount of spice. Served over Fritos, with cheddar and sour cream on top. Yum!

Flavors were good, but this was way too watery. Next time I will cut out the water for a thicker chili.

Easy quick basic chili recipe. I agree with previous reviewers that the recipe as written is pretty bland/ boring. To doctor it up, I followed others' suggestions and added a few of my own: 1) DO NOT add any extra water; 2) drain excess water from beans or other canned vegetables as necessary (I added canned sliced carrots and corn); 3) add as much seasoning to taste, including chili powder, chili flakes (I like a good amount of "kick"), ground black pepper, salt, and basil; 4) serve with sour cream, shredded sharp cheddar, guac, corn bread/ tortilla chips/ saltines. Also, I actually had to simmer mine for about 30 min, not 15. Even without adding any water, it was still way too thin for my tastes.

This is a great recipe for fast chilli. I use it as a base and add extras when i have more time. Bacon bits, mushrooms, celery, other variety of beans, and other veggies are great to add to this chilli when you have more time to doctor it and make it your own. Just remeber to add more water or tomatoe sauce to keep it soupy

this was good and easy for a fast weeknight meal. I still prefer my slow cooked version but when I am short on time I will use this one. I topped with chedder cheese, onions and sour cream. I also served with broiled cheese bread. I didn't have cornbread mix otherwise I would've served with that.

This chili was a very good starting point. As a busy college student it was incredibly easy and quick. Here are some of the changes I made; 1 extra can kidney beans (or more/ other beans if you prefer)

I was planning to make a chili from a packet one night and decided I wanted something a little tastier. I didn't have everything this needed, but I used what I had. I didn't have onions, so I used onion flakes. I didn't have the kinds of tomatoes they talk about, so I used diced tomatoes. Also, I took others' advice and added more chili powder. I was so happy I chose this over the packet - it tasted so much better!

This recipe was very simple and easy. It tasted delicious for an easy quick meal. It was great to make after i got homw from work, it was fast and delicious. You may want to add something beacuse it was not very thick. but my family in the end loved it and it lasted for lunch the next day.

FINALLY... a chili recipe i can use and eat lol. ive tried 2 other chili recipes off this site, made one as is and it was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too hot. that one got tossed out the window.. the other takes a lot of ingredients and is very time consuming.. i love chili and this was perfect.. i added 2 cans of tomato sauce instead of 1 and 1 of stewed tomatos as im not a fan of tomato bits.. (ewww), and 2 cans of beans... thought it was a little on the watery side but thats an easy fix for next time.. i also did add a little bit more garlic and chili powder than a pinch.. just seemed to me that a pinch wouldnt be enough to season it all.. and also threw in some ground cumin seed because it felt like it was missing something.. that did the trick.. put some doritos (no fritos in australia), cheese and sour cream on top and it was absolutely delicious.. who cares if its only a starter recipe.. it beats going to the store, paying all that money for all the ingredients to make a "better chili" only to find out that its insanely hot and you cant even eat it so it just goes to waste.. gives me something to toy with to make it even better.. so you get 5 stars from me for giving me an awesome base... i normally just used those carrol shelby packets but those arent sold in australia either lol so ive spent the last year and a half trying to find a decent chili recipe that i could mess around with to suit my tastes. this one is definitely it
