The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.6 star rating.

Very simple and easy to prepare. The only time that this chile takes to prepare is to fry the hamburger meat. I put the beans in when I put in the tomatoes and seasonings. In addition, it is so nice to have a recipe that most of the country has the ingredients in their kitchen on any given night. It does not seem like chile could be tasty in such a short cooking time but this recipe makes it possible. Thank you for this recipe.

I loved this chili with my own revisions. I made mine as follows : I used the 2lbs of ground sirloin, all the spices that the recipe called for plus some cumin,coriander, and a pinch of nutmeg. I added 2 cans of chili ready tomatoes, 1 can of rotel, 1 8oz can of tomatoe sauce, 2 cans of chili beans with the juice and 1 can of ranch style beans with the juice. It was wonderful. I served it with cornbread and salad and of course toppings for the chili such as sourcream, pepperoncinis, jalapenos, cheese, and tortilla strips.

My husband and I really liked this. My 9 year old daughter wanted nothing to do with it. It could be because she is becoming a picky eater lately. My husband and I both agree it needs a little more spice and no beans next time.

Ended up tasting a bit too much like spaghetti sauce than chili.

AGREE! Great, simple chili that doesn't take much timeor ingredients. I also added cumin. I think this seasoning adds sweet/spicy to the taste. My picky family loved it and asked for more. I put it in the crock pot to simmer all day and it just melted all the flavors together. CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS RECIPE!

This is a good starter chili recipe. I used an extra can of kidney beans rinsed and drained. Also I used 2 cans of stewed tomatoes and 1 can of original Rotel. It could certainly use a tiny bit more of chili powder and a little sugar to balance the acidity of all the tomatoes. I served this chili over a bed of rice topped off w/ shredded cheddar jack cheese and piece of homemade cornbread. Certainly hit the spot on a cold winter night! Thanks!

Easy simple chili. Not too hot for kids. I added another can of beans, but that's just my preference with chili.

This is a great Chili if your looking for a quality chili that doesn't take much time, ingredients and overall labor. I myself use turkey meat. Much healthier for you. I also used two cans of 'chili' tomato's and two cans of stewed tomato's rather then 4 cans of just stewed. I added a few dashes of Franks Red Hot, cumin and a bit of red pepper to spice it up. I also used a tbsp of tomato paste to thicken it up a hair. It was really great. In less then two hours you have a chili that looks like you spent all day preparing. Try it.

Good basic recipe. Easily modified. Been using this recipe for a few years now and usually make the following modifications... I add 1 or 2 finely chopped Jalepenos and a few splashes of worchestshire sauce when browning the meat. I also use 1 pound of ground check and a pound of mild sausage. Always add a fresh tomato or two for good measure and some extra cumin. Then a few cayenne peppers for good measure. And of course I use a few extra cloves of garlic. That being said you can follow the recipe verbatim and come out with good chili.

For the record Michelle, this recipe is far most the best and easiest one I ever made and tasted. I did a slight variation on my own to make it go over the top of the rating charts! I replace the oregano with italian seasoning, diced tomatoes, 1 can of tomato sauce and 1 tomato paste, tbsp of canjun seasoning, crushed red peppers for a bit of a natural kick and you got the best tasting chili this side of the West Coast! Well, at least with my family. Thanks for a great foundation of a masterpiece that is born...lol GREAT JOB!

This was just what I was looking for -- a good basic chili recipe. Tastes great and is what I expect good chili to taste like. And if in the mood for something a bit different, this is perfect for adding other ingredients. I had to really up the chili powder when I made this to get it spicy enough for us. But it was the brand of chili powder I bought. Won't be buying that one again -- too mild for us.
