The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.57 star rating.

This is easy and the whole family likes it. I do cheat a little bit though. I use my food processor on the celery, onions and garlic until they're just short of pureed. I find the flavours mix really well and it saves me a lot of time since I make a triple batch.

This is by far the best chili I've ever had and definitely the best I've ever made myself. The spices are there to add flavor. That's what spices are for! The first time I made this, I doubled the recommended amount of Cayenne b/c my husband loves spicy food. However, I would recommend only the amount she recommends or even less b/c that is plenty. This is amazing chili, and I got the most compliments even if it was too spicy!

I decided to make this recipe b/c my husband is a big Tarheel and chili fan. At first he was skeptical b/c of all the ingredients. Once he tasted the chili he was blown away. Every time I make this recipe it's great. The only thing i leave out is the mushrooms.

This is a wonderfully rich and flavorful chili. I have made it with Guinness and Newcastle and the dark beer really sets off the flavors. I also used deer meat instead of ground beef and received rave reviews!

This recipe is great and simple. Instead of cooking it on the stove top I throw everything into my slow cooker on low for the day and stir it every once and a while. It turns out great. I make it just as the recipe calls for except that I can never find chili beans so I just use 2 cans of kidney instead of 1. I make it all the time in my home and usually make extra to freeze so it's always on hand. A favourite!!!

I added one green pepper and two seeded jalapenos. Also, I substituted diced jalapeno-flavored chicken sausages for 1/2 lb. of the ground beef. Delish, a very good recipe to build on!

This is a Good recipe!!! My husband enter me in a Chili contest at his job and I used this recipe. We didn't win but people loved it, there was none waisted. I added 2 cups of dark beer (Mississippi Mud) and 1/2 cayenne pepper it seems like a lot but its really not and it came out GREAT!

My kids, who claimed not to like chili a couple of years ago, gobbled this right up! I added one green pepper and omitted the mushrooms. I also cut back on the cayenne, using only a scant teaspoon. Plenty zippy for the kids. During the final 15 minutes, I added a paste of 2 tbsp cornmeal and water to thicken it up a bit. I'll be making this again! One last detail: being a Wolfpack fan by birth, I hesitantly made this recipe. However, with the changes I've made, I'd prefer to call this "Rockin' Wolfpack Chili."

This is the best chili recipe I've found. I did make some changes though: I added 2 green peppers, I used 2 lbs of soy crumbles instead of ground beef, and I only used about 1/4 tsp of cayenne (next time, I will use 1 tsp). I used Newcastle for the beer. This was better than the chili mom used to make.

This is an awesome chili recipe! I thought the mushrooms were strange, but they pleasantly added some extra texture and color. I used a few white buttons instead of canned. If you don't like beer, don't be afraid to put some in this chili. It does add depth like someone else pointed out, and your chili will not end up tasting like beer. Delicious, spicy and colorful, and great to eat out of a bowl or with chips, I will be making this again and again! Thanks a bunch for sharing.

The best chili recipe! It was so easy and delicious! My roommate also loved it!! I didn't put beer because the store only sold 6-bottle beer and I don't drink beer. It still came out great. I didn't add mushroom but added bell pepper. Yummy!

We loved this chili. Very nice flavor- not too hot, but a good blend of spices.
