Justin's Hoosier Daddy Chili

“This is a wonderful chili recipe that I have used to win chili cook-offs in Indiana. It's hearty and spicy award winning chili that is sure to hit the spot on a cold winter's night. The key is in using name brand tomato soup, I have tried it with others but haven't gotten the same results. Your friends will never guess the secret ingredient. Enjoy!”

Great recipe. Easy but reduced the amount of broth. Also I am a garlic fan so I added 4 cloves of garlic to spice it up.

My goodness 5 tablespoons of chili powder sounded like too much, so I used 2. Used one can pinto and one can kidney. Used 1/2 ground beef and 1/2 sasauge (will just use all beef next time). The reason I am not giving 5 stars is because it's a rather runny chili; otherwise, the taste is pretty darn good! P.S. The pictures are pretty, but I was wondering who serves chili on a plate? Oh I guess that just might be an illusion, sorry!

Easy to make and a real hit at work. Wonderful in a crockpot, just prep meat and onions, then add everything to the crockpot. Great for pot lucks served with grated cheddar and oyster crackers

The absolute best chili I think I ever ate, let alone cooked. I doubled the amount of kidney beans used in this recipe because I love kidney beans but other than that, stayed exact to directions. Thanks so much, I finally beat out my fiancee's recipe even in his opinion! Yaay, thanks for sharing this one!

This was pretty good, nothing really special. I have another chili recipe that I'll continue to use though. Thanks.

This is the first recipe I just had to write a review for. YUMMY!!! The only things I did differently were to only add 1 can of chicken broth and a little less chili powder (since my son doesn't like things to spicy). This is very similar to my mom's chili and my family loved it. Thanks!

Definitely a big hit. I tripled the recipe for a Super Bowl party and there was hardly any left. Only change I made was to add one bottle of beer. If you scale up a lot, I would recommend decreasing the amount of chicken broth or it will end up too thin.

Served this up for Superbowl Sunday, and it was a hit! I have some pretty picky chili eaters in my family, but even our die-hard texan had to admit this was pretty darn good chili! It was super easy, and with my new reynolds wrap slow cooker bags, clean-up was a cinch! Now if only the Seahawks had won....

This chili was amazingly soooo good! Who would think that tomato soup and broth would make an awesome chili. Made double for 4 people, and was worried that I would have to freeze half because it turned out to be alot. But today is a few days later, and I just had the last of it...and it was still amazingly good! Try it!

Good Chili. It tastes a lot like my mom's. Some of us added a little bit of spaghetti to cut the heat. I cut the beans to 1 can and the chili powder to 1 tbsp and it still had a kick. Family said it's a keeper.

This is great chili. I did use less chili powder- only 2 tbls, but I bought some serious chipotle chili powder that I think is more powerful than most. I would suggest tasting as you add the heat. Thanks for the recipe!

This chili was too thin for me! After cooking the ground beef and onions, I cooked it in the crock pot instead of the stove, so I didn't follow the directions exactly. Also, I had to add much more spice. However, the next day the chili was great and had thickened perfectly.

Just made this the other night for a church function. Awesome!! There are just two factors you look at depending on how like your chili. If you like it thinner, you could leave out 1 or both cans of chicken broth and if you like it not so spicy, definitely watch how much chili powder you put in there. I put 2tbs in there and that was enough for me.

Had reservations about chili made with tomato soup (this just seemed wrong to me) and chicken broth. Trust Justin's daddy; I followed the recipe, but added 2 cans of black beans and a bit more chili powder. Great consistency (I think it's the soup) and just a bit spicy. At out chili cook-off, beat Fusion Chili and Quick Chili I (the defending champion).

I have to admit, partway through cooking, I was concerned about how this was going to turn out (the tomato soup was such an obvious flavour, and all I could smell was cumin), but fear not: After following the recipe exactly, this stuff is fabulous! Great flavour, great heat, great consistency. This is good stuff.
