I made this as my first time attempt of making chili, and it was a huge hit! I did add and extra can of kidney beans, and a little extra chilli powder, but other than that I followed the recipie as made, and it turned out fantastic. I serveed with biscuts and for the kids I put it over some macaroni. This will definetly be a keeper in our house!

This is a really good chili. I changed some things as well to make it mine. Instead of four cans of stewed tomatoes, I added one can of diced tomatoes, one can stewed, and two cans of chili beans. I also reduced the chili powder and onion, and it was still spicy (in a good way:)

This chili is wonderful. I put 3 tbls of Chili powder, 2 teaspoons of dried oregano, 2 teaspoons of cumin, added a bottle of dark winter ale, fresh chopped green peppers and a can of corn to this chili. It smelled heavenly while it cooked. I also added 2 teaspoons of white sugar. Thanks Michelle for a great recipe!

I have to admit this is a very good basic chili recipe for those who do not have a lot of spices in their cabinet or do not like a lot of spice. The first thing I noticed missing was cumin. I would suggest adding one teaspoon maybe two of cumin. If you need more spice another tablespoon of chili powder will help quite a bit. I also suggest 2 cans of beans. If you have the following try a tablespoon of Worcestershire. I did use two cans of diced tomatoes and 2 cans of stewed and to thicken I did use 1 tablespoon of corn starch. Corn starch is a very effective thickener so if you are unsure start with 1 teaspoon and move up from there. If it is not hot enough try adding 1/4 teaspoon increments of cayenne pepper.

Wonderful! This makes a huge amount of chili so I cut the recipe in half and made a few minor changes. Used 2 cans of mexican style stewed tomatoes (have jalepenos in them)instead of regular stewed. Added 1/4 tsp cocoa powder and 3 Tbsp of tomato paste and an extra can of kidney beans. This had plenty of flavor and just the right amount of heat. As a side note for those of you who like HOT...try mexican chili powder..it has a little more kick than regular chili powder!

This recipe was very good. After reading others' reviews I did 2 cans Mexican flavored stewed tomatoes and 2 cans regular stewed tomatoes ... and I'm sorry I did. I WILL make this again using the 4 cans of REGULAR stewed tomatoes. The only other thing I did different was to add a large can (28 oz?)of tomato sauce instead of the 14 oz. I think the end result was perfect ... not too thick, not too loose. Served with homemade corn bread, chopped onions, shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream. YUMMY!

This recipe is good to start with, but I add a few things to make it even better. Try adding a small can of tomato paste and 2 T sugar. I also use 1/2 tsp of garlic powder in place of the fresh garlic because I don't normally have fresh garlic in the house. This chili also has the right amount of beans. Most chili recipes have too many so if you don't like a lot of beans in your chili, then this recipe is for you.

I'm not a chili eater, so this is based on my husbands opinion. He said the flavor was good, but that the balance of meat/beans/tomatoes was a bit "off." I followed the recipe exactly, so if I make it again I'll probably tweak it a bit. Probably another can of beans and another .5 - 1 pound of meat. Definitely wort trying, especially when you compare the ingredient list to a lot of others on here. Simplicity can be good!

Very good chili and evenb better the next day! The only thing I did different was I used 2 cans of the rotell tomatoes, used 1 1/2 pounds hamberger and 1/2 pound italian sausage and added 1/4 C. chopped red pepper and decreased the salt by half. Easy to put together and then I let it cook for 4 hours in the crock pot.

I was so happy to find a simple chili recipes without all the weird stuff in it. I did make a couple changes, but nothing too major. I used stew meat instead of GB (personal preference), a 28oz can of stewed tomatoes, w/out the juice, can of rotel w/juice, 2 cans of kidney beans, and a can of diced tomatoes. The chili turned out sooo yummy, thanks Michelle!!

It was good and quick in a pinch. I think that it was a little sweet for me. My husband thinks that it was the tomatoes. It made a TON and I froze half for the next rainy day we have. I'll probably make it again.

This chili is so great and simple. Alot of other recipes are way over the top. I like to blend 3 cans of the stewed tomatoes for a thicker sauce. I add 1 can pinto beans and half a small can fire roasted mild chile. I cook everything down and then transfer to the crock pot on low for several hours. I add fresh jalapeno individually. Over a baked potato....mmmm!!

Just like the recipe says, this was a good basic chili recipe. You could really spice up the chili by adding your own touch to it. I added some mayo to make the sauce a little creamy and hot sauce to give a some kick.

A great basic chili recipe to build from. Throw in whatever veggies you like in your chili. Also, I like my chili withmore heat so I through in a LOT more chili powder, and a few jalapenos.

Good basic chili recipe. I think it's a good recipe for someone learning to cook as there's a lot of room for tweaking. I did some tweaking myself including: adding two seeded and chopped jalepenos for some heat as well as adding 1 more tablespoon of chili powder. I didn't use the liquid from the kidney beans because it was already as liquidy as I wanted it. Turned out very good!

This is a good basic chili recipe as it stands. I love chili because it's something that can altered in so many ways. I love that there's even controversy as it where it should contains or be beanless, should use cubed meat, pulled meat or no meat. There are very few chili recipes I haven't liked - thanks for this one for my collection.

This chili is delicious! I followed the advice of some other reviews and made some changes: added a can of chili beans for a thicker consistency, added some chopped green pepper, added a lot more chili power to increase the flavor and give it a little heat, and used a can of diced tomotoes with green chilies.
