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.

I used two cans of stewed tomatoes and two cans of Ro-tel diced with green chiles. I also drained the stewed tomatoes, doubled the beans and drained those as well. I also used 2lbs of ground beef and 1lb of ground pork for flavor. It made a lot. I think next time I will drain all of the tomatoes, I prefer my chili just a bit thicker, or possibly throw in some tomato paste for thickness. This recipe had the right amount of heat without being too spicy. My friend ate three bowls of the stuff, so I think it was a hit :). Thanks!

the only chili I make! I keep some in zip bags in the freezer! My husband said, "I don't know where you got this recipe, but I'm calling it 'your chili'" I smiled and said, "yes, it is 'my chili'" !!!

This was an okay basic chili. I cut the recipe in half and there was way more than enough for four portions. I followed other reviews by using 1/2 diced tomatoes and 1/2 diced tomatoes with green chilis and also added much more chili powder than the recipe calls for, but there was still no kick to it. Something was missing.

I have been making this chili since 2004. It's the best! I have found that by substituting 1 or 2 cans Rotel for 1 or 2 cans tomatoes, it adds a bit more punch. I also use mild chili beans in place of kidney beans. Great Recipe!

The recipe seemed too salty to me. I would put at least 1/2 the amount it calls for. Otherwise, a great standard chili soup.

I agree with the comment to double the beans. beyond that, this was great chili for the kids, but lacked depth of flavor for the grownups. I added some garlic to try and bring the flavor out, but that wasn't enough of a fix.

So easy and so hearty. Personalize it with things like frozen sweet corn and a touch of brown sugar or molasses.

This chili recipe is so good. I am not looking for another one! I did add more beans- 1 can of kidney beans, 1 can of bush's chili beans. Next time, I would even add some more, a variety of different kinds, and some corn. The longer you simmer it, the better it tastes. Cashews would be a great texture addition. This is a great recipe just the way it is, and as a base for some twists.

Wow! This recipe is soooooo easy and it is still delicious! Unfortunately I had to omit the onions (boyfriend would refuse to eat it otherwise), but fortunately that saved me chopping time as well. Didn't even notice them missing. I also used garlic from a jar (ok, I added more than called for to make up for the omitted onions.) Dinner was "prepared" in no time and simmering! I did listen to other reviewers and used diced tomatoes instead of stewed and added two cans of kidney beans. The chili was a bit "soupy" so I did drain my beans before adding and had to simmer it uncovered a bit longer than called for. I also used the required amount of chili powder but it didn't have a kick. However, this could be because my chili powder in the cupboard lost its punch. Given the easy preparation and final flavor (I think the oregano is the secret to this simple recipe), I give it 4 stars. THANK YOU for sharing.

Fantastic! I made this a no-bean chili for my picky husband and we both loved it. To compensate for the missing beans, I added a large diced green pepper and 2 stalks of finely chopped celery. It was wonderful. I'll definitely make this again. Also, this makes a HUGE quantity.
