This recipe was a hit at a Halloween party. I took advice and only used half the chili powder and used a little pinch of red pepper. It was awesome. Had enough heat from that and the green chilies. Will make this again.

I didn't get first-came in 3rd :) I changed only a couple things. I left out the salt(personal preference) and added more chili powder, and cayenne pepper. I added a few more tablespoons of corn bread mix. Even though I only came in 3rd, people kept commenting that the thickness was great. Next time, I want to experiment a little more-maybe with other beans.

I entered a contest with 9 chili's and it took 9th place. My suggestion would be omit the salt if you use the pork or add it only to tast it was the only thing I could taste was the salt. I believe the chili powder could also be reduced because the receipe only makes 8 servings so 9 Tablespoons is to much which adds to the salt taste.

We liked it less than some milder recipes, I enjoyed it with cheddar and sour cream over noodles, but my kids found it too hot.

Sooo Good... The only changes I made were only 3 tsp of chili powder and i add 1 tsp of brown sugar (brown sugar add a savory element).

This recipe calls for WAY TOO MUCH CHILI POWDER AND SALT. I was thoughtful enough to only put 6 T chili powder, I wish I had been more thoughtful with the salt. I put 1 Tablespoon salt and we couldn't eat the chile! I will try the recipe again w/ 1 tsp salt!!

Very,very good recipe. I added 1 red bell pepper, 1 green bell pepper, and 2 habanero peppers, and 4 jalapeno peppers as well as increasing the red pepper to 1 TBS. Also added 1 quart of water. We took this to a neighborhood chili cookoff, and it was the unanimous winner. The heat was not overwhelming, but rather an afterburn. A bit too hot for timid eaters, but for the spicy food fans, it was perfect!!!

A tablespoon of salt? I only used 1 tsp and the chili was so salty we couldn't eat it. Also very greasy, even after draining fat. I did like the spice level though. Might try again using no salt and 93/7 ground beef.

Karen, thanks for the recipe. I also won first place with this chili. How fun!! I did alter it just a little. I only put 7 tablesoons of chili powder and did not add extra salt. I thought the pork was salty enough. I also have tons of the Masa flour so will be making this chili agaiin!
