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!”

This is great stuff! I doubled the recipe right off the bat because it sounded really good! My whole family loved it, and has decided that it is our new chili recipe! It appears really liqudiy while cooking, but it ends up perfect once it reaches the bowl! I followed the recipe to a TEE, but skipped any additional ceyanne...next time I will add just a bit! If you're on the fence, try it! I think you'll be pleased!

I knew I'd need to adjust the amount of cumin & chili powder in this recipe. I only used 1 tsp. cumin & 2 Tbsp of chili powder & it still was pretty spicy for my family's taste. I'm planning to make this again though & just adjust the seasoning a little more.

Spicy and delicious! I subtituted ground turkey for the beef and it was still yummy.

As good as described! I came across the recipe while looking for something to make for a tailgate party I was heading to. Main reason this recipe caught my eye was that EVERYONE rated it 5 stars! Its hard to find a recipe that everyone agrees on. Followed the recipe as described and it turned out to be the hit of the tailgate. Nothing better than people constantly asking for a recipe! Thanks for posting this one! I'll be using it again for sure!

I made this for Halloween and everyone loved it! They said it was THE BEST chili they have ever had. I made this with the Amusement Park cornbread and it was the perfect cold weather meal.I have never been the best at cooking, but since using ALLRECIPES.COM everything I have tried has been awesome!

My husband and I entered this in a Chili Cookoff last night and won first place. To make it a little different we added mild italian sausage and reduced the chili powder to 2 tablespoons. Like others suggested, we added 1 can of kidney beans and 1 can of pinto beans. We mixed in some sour cream and cheese and it was excellent. This is really good with the amusement park cornbread recipe from this site.

My husband and my in-laws absolutly loved this chili. It has some great flavor to it, didn't change much but left out 1 tablespoon of the chili powder and added a little extra cumin. I also added some green pepper and mushrooms(His family is mushroom crazy). Will definitly make this again, woderful recipe.

Look no further. There are a ton of chili recipe's on this site, and I have tried a lot of them. This is by far the best one out there. Planned on taking this to my aunt's birthday party but we ate it the night before, next time the recipe gets doubled.

Tasty chili! I don't care for beans & there were too many in this recipe for me to pick out. Next time I will probably use half the beans and double the meat.

extremely great chili recipe. So simple to make, made me wonder why I haven't been using chicken broth in chili before, adds a very rich component to the finished product. Try this one, you'll be glad you did. Thanks Justin :-)

Mmmm! I'm not into to really hot chili so I only put in about 3 Tablespoons of the chili powder instead of 5, and didn't add any cayenne. It still had a kick, but in a very flavorful way! I used the pinto beans; next time I think I might put a can of them in and a can of red kidney beans just for some extra color. I put it in a crock pot and cooked it all day - chili was kind of soupy at first but I left off the lid for the last 1 1/2 hours of cooking and it was great! Perfect with cheddar cheese and cornbread. I think I'll enter this in a chili cookoff myself soon . . . giving credit where credit is due, of course. :) Thanks SO much - this is some of the best chili I've ever had, and much better than a lot of restaurants make. :)

Excellent chili! I used a can of pinto and a can or red kidney. Next time I'll throw a can of peeled whole tomotos to suit our taste. I didn't measure any of the seasoning, just measured by eye and spiced it up to our taste. I didn't have cumin and used chili powder instead. The soup makes it an addicting chili that is delicious!

Who'd have thought... tomato soup and chicken broth in chili???... could taste so good?! My husband loved this recipe. Next time, I may add more onion and maybe some green pepper.

Wow! This Chili's got some punch to it. I can honestly say I have never eaten a Chili with more flavor than this. I used 2 pounds of lean ground beef and added extra beans and it was suited towards my family's taste. Simply a great recipe.
