This is the best chili I have ever made. I listened to the reviews about the salt and omitted it because the beef boullion did the trick. The next time I make it, I am going to mix chuck steak with ground beef or ground turkey because for some reason the chuck did not get as tender as I would have liked. The flavor was excellent however so I do not hesitate giving this recipe 5 stars!!!!!

Meat was a little tough. Not sure what to do about that. Also, definitely a little salty. Recommend leaving out the salt that it calls for (recipe already includes beef bouillon, which is salty.) All in all, quite good though!

My husband made this for a chili cookoff and won 3rd place...everyone was talking about it and it was the best chili I've ever had!! Bought beef roast as the meat and browned in EVOO (extra virgin olive oil - thanks for the abbreviation, Rachael Ray, Food Network) and used an entire can of Guinness for the beer. Omitted the salt and will use less boullion next time, but other than that, wouldn't change a thing!

I absolutely LOVE this recipe and so does everyone I make it for!!! Yes, it takes a lot of spices and time but is well worth it. I try and stock up on spices when they are on sale just so I can make this chili all winter long!!! I usually use half ground beef and half beef for stew. I do eliminate that extra salt...the beef bouillon more than makes up for it. We like to serve our chili Hard Time Cafe style-on a bed of fritos topped with chopped onion, cheese, and sour cream, maybe a bit of jalapeno fresh from the garden. Thanks for such a great recipe!!!!

This is my favorite chili recipe - I make it all the time. I usually use a combination of chuck and ground beef - I think the ground beef adds more flavor. I also add fresh cilantro.

I cut the recipe in half, and used a combination of ground beef and pork (still used a whole beer though!) It was wonderful! I thought the spices were great, and I had no problems with the salt like others have said... just personal taste I guess. I also added a chopped habenero to heat it up. This is my new regular chili recipe.

DON'T MAKE THIS RECIPE! The idea is right, but the seasonings are out of porportion. The 5 T of chili powder will overwhelm it alone. I made it, but put in 13 of the spices called for and it came out very tasty, even if still a bit over flavored.

GOOD BASIC CHILI RECIPE. COURSE, EVERYONE TINKERS WITH CHILI AND I AM NO EXCEPTION. I USED ONLY 3 CLOVES OF GARLIC, ADDED GROUND PORK AND CAYENNE PEPPER.

My boyfriend wanted me to make 'beer chili' like his mother used to make. Tough order! This recipe did the trick. It's a keeper. I used ground beef though as that's how she did it and so it needed more sauce. I doubled the tomato sauce and beer(dark), increased each seasoning a bit. Except salt. I only added a touch of salt. Very, very good!

Wow! The salt measurement is way too excessive! I had to boil 2 potatoes in it to try to remove it.Once I got the salt falvor reduced, I found that the chili has a wonderful flavor and is very full bodied without being excessively hot.I added an extra 14.5ounce can of stewed tomatoes and I used Moose Drool Beer. I will make this again, however I will ELIMINATE THE 1 TABLESPOON OF SALT. The beef bouillon adds more than enough. Too bad I didn't read the other reviews first! About 5 out of 30 people said this was way too salty. The potato idea works for those of you who forget to read the reviews first!

I probably screwed this recipe up somehow because I couldn't even eat it. I reduced it to 4 servings and the measurements were awkward. I guessed on measuring most of the spices. I have also never had chili with beer in it and I could really smell it when I was cooking. Not pleasant. I will probably not try this recipe again. I wish I did not reduce the # of servings because maybe it would have turned out better.

This is the best chili I've ever made! The ingredients give it a wonderful, complex flavor. This is a restaurant quality chili in my opinion. I do increase the spice amounts a bit for my personal taste. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe!!

I was SO disappointed with this recipe. YUCK! Not only was it way too salty, but for the cost of all of the meat and spices, it seems pretty expensive. I honestly cannot understand how this recipe was so highly rated. My husband said to toss this recipe, and I agree...I ended up tossing the chili too! :(

This recipe didn't work for me at all. It was so salty that I had to add everything in my cabinet to dilute it and then it was just a big disappointment.

I made this for Monday Night Football and it was a hit! (As were the Ravens!!!) I did use 3.8lbs of ground beef instead of chuck (just because we like it that way) and at the end I added an extra can of "Zesty Chili Beans" with the pintos. The beer made it great. This one's a keeper!
