from Yankee Mom. We make these additions and make 2 pots at once. Add 1 lb more ground beef. Add 1lb ground turkey. Add more beans along with juice - kidney beans, chili beans, pinto beans. Celery (Sliced or chopped). Add more of any of the originally listed ingredients. Makes thicker more hearty soup. Cook up several pots at one time... it is dandy from the freezer.

this was easy to throw together with stuff i already had on hand. i did add some minced garlic and rooster sauce after i tasted it. this was better after it simmered on the stove all afternoon. i increased this to 12 servings and ended up with a big pot full. very quick and good.

I make this recipe all the time, and everybody loves it! Goes great with some home-made corn bread, which you can find on this site!

This was very good. I did make some additions/substitutions based on what I had on hand & what we like. I added: a couple cloves of garlic & half a can of tomato paste (based on another review I read). For the seasoning mix, salt, pepper, & chili powder, I substituted a heaping tablespoon of "Chili Seasoning Mix II" from this site. I've never made chili before but this turned out so well that I'll think we'll keep it in the rotation. Thanks Bailey.

This is my "go to" chili recipe! I don't like it spicy, and neither do my young girls, so we LOVE this one!

I absolutely love this chili. I had been using ground beef which was awesome tasting but last night I decided to try ground turkey. It was even better. My husband even liked it and he is so iffy about trying "healthier" options. I had to try something different... I'm prego and ground beef isn't agreeing with me right now but the turkey... Amazing!!!

I usually add a little less water and a little more cumin, but other than that this recipe is perfect!

Nice, basic recipe! We like more spice, so we kicked it up a notch, and added different amounts of beans. Great base recipe to build on to suit your own families tastes!

This is the best chili recipe I have found - the whole family agrees. I did make a few changes - I doubled the recipe and used 1 packet of medium chili seasoning and 1 hot. I also used 1.5x the ranch beans - 3 cans for double serving. I also added 1 can tomato sauce when I doubled the recipe. That's it - all in all, great recipe.
