This is the best chili recipe I think I've ever made, & I even eliminated the red pepper flakes & chili powder to please my family's bland palates.

I used your recipe and I came in last place for the chili cookoff. I do not recommend this recipe.

This was a good recipe. I made it exactly as called for except instead of chopped onion I used onion powder (preference). It tasted great. It wasn't really amazing but it was a good standard chili recipe.

I've tried a few chili recipes, and I don't know that I've hit on "THE" chili recipe for me. But this is a good one, and I would make it again. Plus, I liked that it was so easy to make. It may seem too soupy at first, but believe me it thickens up. And it's SPICY!

A delicious chili recipe! Good for those who don't like beans in theirs. I followed the recipe exactly, and the flavor was delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

One of the best chilis I have ever had, besides my mom's. This chili has quite a punch to it, so be careful with the cayenne pepper. My husband and I usually both have to eat this with a Kleenex near by but that's the way we like it!

We had this chili tonight and it was great. I've made it before, but I have never reviewed it. I've always pretty much followed the recipe, but tonight, I did make some changes per other reviews. I used 2 pounds of meat, 1 pound of ground beef and 1 pound of ground turkey. I added 3 cans of soup and only one can of broth. After browning the meat and onions, I finished it in the crockpot while we went to the movies. When we came home, the house smelled great and dinner was ready! Thanks for the recipe.

I'm not a chili expert, in fact I rarely make it - this recipe with the suggestion of replacing chicken stock with beer intrigued me. It was a big hit with my husband, who sprinkled in some saltines and declared me wife of the year! thanks to the author and those who suggested options.

This recipe was simply fantastic! I have never been a fan of 'real' chili, but this recipe just changed that! Also, my fiance, who is a huge 'real' chili fan could not stop raving about it! Based on other reviews, I did alter the recipe a little. I only put in one can of chicken broth, I added an extra can of crushed tomatoes, and I added some macaroni to replace one can of the beans. The end result was thick, hearty, spicy and simply divine. Thank you for the recipe, Justin! This will be a regular staple in our house from now on!

I've used this recipe over a dozen times now. And anyone who's looking for a recipe this is where I direct them. The only change I make is I add tobasco sauce instead of cayenne. Yum, making this again this week!

I was looking for a tastier chili recipe to try and I have to tell you I love this chili. My husband actually came home from work to have this for lunch and that says alot! I did change a few things, I took out one can of tomato soup and added diced tomatoes with chiles, I also took out one can of chicken broth and added a half bottle of beer and I added a pound of meat. The spices were just the right combination. I definitely recommend this recipe.

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!!!!!! I have been looking for a delicious but quick and easy type of chili to make and this is the one! I did follow some other suggestions by substituting beer for the chicken broth and adding 1 can of kidney and pinto beans. The pinto beans that I bought had jalapenos added which helped kick the flavor up. I made a big pot of this chili and it was gone in minutes! Thank you Justin's daddy; this is a definite keeper!!!! : >

i follow this recipe exactly and it's amazing. I make it once a week!!! BEST CHILI EVER

Good recipe! Modifies well- I doubled the meat and used a combo of ground beef and ground turkey. I didn't double the wet ingredients, more like 2/3 double. I used 2 cans tomato soup, 2 cans diced tomatoes, 1/2 bottle of beer, no chx broth. It was really good and our non-adventurous friend loved it. This is the kind of recipe that wins chili cookoffs- good enough to please everyone! Thanks!

I looked for years for the perfect chili recipe, that would please a crowd that had completely different palates. This is it! We can even get the kids to eat it, which is a realy accomplishment. Thanks for sharing!

This was pretty good chili, but not spectacular. It was easy to make, lasted well in a crock pot, and was just about the right heat for a party.

Very good! I did as others did, and cut the broth in half, added a half can of beer, and I didn't have any Pinto beans, but I had Kidney beans, so I used that. I also didn't have any chili powder and it still turned out great. I browned meat and onions, then threw everything in the slow cooker on low for 3 hours. Hubby even asked me to save the leftovers which is "the" sign that he loved it!! Thanks
