This is the best chili I have ever made. Chili is one of those foods that is unique to your area and you develope a specific taste for. George you hit the spot with this one. This is the recipe I will use from now on.

I just made this and it was delicious. I added a little more Cayenne Pepper to give it a punch. I got lucky. This was my first time making Chili and it was borderline too spicy for me but my Husband loves it. Next time around I will definitely add chunky tomatoes for more texture and flavor. But this Chili as is would be great, too.

Wow, this was really really delicious! I used ground chicken instead of beef because it was on sale at the grocery store (haha), and I used two teaspoons of cayenne pepper instead of 1/8th of a teaspoon (that really seems negligibly small) and 1 extra teaspoon of salt. Other than that I followed the directions exactly!

I made this chili for my dad and Uncles for football Sunday and it was a big hit! I took the advice from other reviews and substituted diced tomatoes in their own juices for the tomato juice, and it made the chili nice and hearty. I also added an extra half a can of both beans and it made all the difference.

Agree with everyone -- an excellent starting point for personalizing chili. I added a 10oz. can of Rotel and subtracted 10oz. from the tomato juice. I used chili beans instead of pinto beans and brown sugar instead of white. I cooked in a crock pot and it was a bit runny, so I cooked with the lid off for the last hour or so, which helped thicken it up.

I have never made chili before, and this was Delicious...I used ground turkey, and could not tell the difference. I also used diced tomatoes in place of the tomato juice as others suggested. Thank you for a great recipe :-)

Awesome chili! I halved the recipe and it came out great. I used a 19 oz can of tomato juice and it was not soupy at all.

This is a really nice meaty chili. The biggest change I made was to add fresh tomatoes instead of canned- i didn't have any canned on hand but I think I liked the fresh better! Also, I cut down on the juice.

I loved the taste, but it was way too thin/soupy for my liking. Next time, I would cut down on the tomato soup and maybe add some tomato paste to thicken it up a bit.

My husband is very picky about his chili and I have never found the receipe that will suit him. He and I both loved this recipe!! I used diced tomatoes in place of the tomato juice, added a can of corn and black beans, and added half the onions near the very end of cooking for more crunchy texture. It was great!!

This recipe is good (not great). Its a safe chili to cook for those who might be picky. I would have liked more spice/kick.

This recipe is awesome. It makes a huge pot and my family of three had it all eaten within the week. The only change I made was I didn't have tomato juice so I used an extra can of tomato sauce and a can of water. Also if you like spice, kick up the cayenne. So yummy! Thank you!
