This chilli is great! For those who think it's a bit thin, i have made it with either 3 pounds of beef or 2 pounds beef and 1 pound crumbled bacon. Both made this a much thicker chilli. The spice level on this is great. It's hot enough for a little sweat on the brow but not hot enough to make you stop eating. thanks for posting this recipe!

This was good, but it would have been too runny if I had added the amount of beer and tomato juice stated in the recipe. I cut back on the liquid, and used less chili powder too. I also threw in a couple of Knorr Chipotle seasoning cubes which added a nice smoky flavor. It was too spicy for me, but Husband enjoyed it. Thanks!

Being originally from Birmingham, Al.; I love the liquidity of this chili recipe. Tastes just like my mama made 50 years ago and is perfect for me.

I've used this recipe as the base recipe for my chili for the past year or so and everyone loves it. Sure you have to be able to handle the spice...I even add some habanero to give it more of a kick...but if you love spicy food this is the chili for you!!

Not a bad taste, but a little runny for chili.

I like a spicy chili but this was just too much for me. I followed the recipe exactly- except I used green chilis instead of jalopanoes. I have had much better chilis. It was just o.k.

Wow!!! What A great recipe. I made 2 batches and omitted the spices for my kids, and added them to the other one. The whole family loved it. Even my husband who is hard to please when it comes to chili because he likes it spicey. I added more spice and it was nearly too hot for me. lol Husband loved it though. Thank You so much for this recipe. Definate keeper.

A definite keeper, excellent Chili! Will be making this again. Came out with just the right amount of heat for the spicy food lovers. If you don't like spicy foods or have children, you may want to try it without the optional red pepper flakes, or add it near the end to match your preference.

This was definitely the best chili I have ever made. I am really picky about the kinds of chili I like. It had excellent flavor. I made it with the amounts of "hot stuff" that were stated in the recipe, and it was perfect if you like some heat. It had kick, but not too overwhelmingly hot. I served it to a crowd, and they all raved about it. This will definitely be made again and again...

Please keep in mind that cooking beer for 2 hours as the recipe states winds up cooking away any alcohol from the beer. All that's left is the flavor.
