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

Very easy recipe! It is similar to the one I already use. I added a few ingredients to spice it up, but it was great the way it was for the kids. They loved it with a little melted cheese and sour cream on top.

My secret favorite ingredient to add to all my tomatoe-based sauces and soups is brown sugar. I makes the flavor more rich and takes the edge off the acidity. I usually start with 1/2 tsp. and add more according to taste if it needs it. This was a good basic chili. I revised it a bit by adding green peppers, diced tomatoes in chili sauce, only 1/2 cup of water and more chili powder than called for. This was quick and easy and I'll be making it again. Thanks!

This is an easy recipe but I made a few changes. Instead of stewed tomatoes and tomato sauce I substatuted two cans of "Mexican Style Stewed Tomatoes" and I added about a tablespoon Texas Pete Hot Sauce along with more chili powder.

This recipe is very similar to my own that was passed down to me from my mother. One difference is that we always add a can of ranch style beans along with the kidney beans which gives it a rich texture and awesome flavor! Also a little more chili powder and a pinch of cumin to spice it up a bit.

This is pretty much my basic chili recipe, however I add garlic - at least 3 cloves and at least 1 tablespoon of chili powder and 1/4 tsp. of Cayenne as I like my chili spicier. I will also use different beans - dark kidney or black beans, depending on what's on sale. I like simmering the chili a lot longer than 15 minutes to give the flavors time to meld. Much better the second day, of course! Sprinkle with grated cheese and it's dinner!

I don't see how anyone can rate a recipe 4-5 stars when they have to practically redo it. I added this, I left out that...put in more seasoning, leave out the water...either a recipe works or it doesn't AS IS. This is a basic starter recipe for new cooks or families w/ young children. It doesn't qualify as 4-5 stars in my book.

This chili, was pretty good. I don't say great because I like really enjoy thick chili, this chili was watered down I thought, the second time i made it, I only put 1 cup of water in it, it made it all the better!
