Modified Recipe: 2 lbs ground beef, no mushrooms (mushrooms???), 2 15oz cans of Kidney Beans, 1 extra 15oz can of crushed tomatoes, and 1 tsp cayenne pepper since my family prefers a slightly less hot chili (a burden I must live by). I used Guinness beer which was perhaps too dark, but it grew on me. Served over rice. Mmmmm!!!

This is AWESOME!!!I made it exactly the way the recipe is written but left out the mushrooms.AS far as the beer goes I used Newcastle.This chili had the right amount of heat for my taste but If you don't like a lot of heat I would cut back on the cayenne pepper a little bit.I will definately be making this again.

The best chili! I like to use a smokey porter, the beer adds a great flavor. I also add jalapeno (we like it hot too) and leave out the mushrooms. Always a hit!

This has become our go-to chili recipe. We usually use only 1 1/2 lbs. of ground beef and about half of the chili powder.

Made this chili for Superbowl party & no one liked it!!! What an embarrasment. I left out the celery & mushrooms because thesr are not ingredients I use in chili. I added garlic, bay leaves & paprika. When my husband asked if I had tasted the chili, I knew it was my first flop ever from AllRecipes.

This recipe was absolutely awesome!! I made it over the holidays for my family and they went crazy over it. I used fresh mushrooms (sliced) instead of the canned and I do think the next time I will add more hot sauce!!

This recipe was an immediate hit! I was afraid of the beer flavor being strong as I hate beer but I didn't even taste a hint of it! Easy to make, feeds a big family with leftovers and little changes (I only omitted the celery!)

I cut the recipe in half and substituted spicy v8 for beer; when I tasted it I thought it was bland, so following another recipe I added 2 tsp. vinegar, 2 tsp. brown sugar, 1 tsp. salt and another TBS of chili powder. Turned out fabulous. Loved it.

Ehh. Definitely missing something. If not for the cayenne pepper it would be very bland.

Delicious meal. I cooked it in the crockpot, added peppers with the mushrooms, celery and onion. I found it too liquidy so I added some tomato paste. Overall, extremely tasty.

Made this Chili, but omitted the Mushrooms, and Celery...This Chili is & was AWESOME. It has a sweet flavor, witha slight bite due to the cheyanne pepper. Highly recommend it to anybody who loves a good chili. I also used stew meat instead of ground beef. Very tender, and tasty.

I liked this recipe. Keep in mind that if it is only for a couple people you will be eating chili for a week! Instead of the celery i put in green peppers. It turned out well. I give it 4 stars

The base of this chili was not very thick, and the tomato flavor was overpowering.

This recipe is to "DIE FOR" I made it per the directions and it was amazing. Next time though I will add more mushrooms just because I like 'shrooms. If this is a personal recipe tell Emirl to watch out. BAM!

This was sure spicy, which I LOVE! Made some modifications on this partially because the nutrition stats on many of the recipes on this site are just plain SCARY!!! Way too much fat, sodium, etc. So... I used ground turkey thigh, used a green pepper instead of the celery (because I rarely have celery on hand), used low sodium for the tomatoes and tomato sauce. This recipe is FAR from bland and I think salt can be skipped! I'd cut it down, as there's only me, but made an error in the calcs so was short some tomato sauce. Improvised with low sodium beef broth (which I've seen in other chili recipes). Omitted the beer but used a tad bit of cocoa powder for sweetness (which you see in chili recipes too). LOVE IT! If I have a chili cook-off to go to this fall, this will be my entry. Also, used all organic ingredients. Thanks for a great chili recipe!
