I was skeptical of any chili that didn't have to cook all day, but this was excellent!

This is the BEST recipe for chili that I have ever found! I crave this when I dont know what I want to eat. I try to make well over more than I need so I can freeze it and thaw and eat it whenever Im in the mood. I LOVE IT!!!

YUM! My husband and I loved this recipe because it was pretty spicy and very flavorful. I followed the recipe pretty much exactly, except that I halved it. Really easy with barely any prep, perfect for a weeknight. Will definitely make again!

Five stars for easy and tasty and quick. Made as directed except salted to taste. A tablespoon seemed a lot.

GREAT recipe. Super easy- throw it together an hour before dinnertime and it's ready to go. Tastes as good as some of those 'all-day' chili's I've been a slave to the kitchen for. Dress it up as you like- add a little extra kick with some cheyanne pepper, or make a little 'fixin's' bar for company with cheese, chips, green onions, sour cream and jalapenos. Well liked by all.

This was really good. I halved the recipe for my family and everyone loved it. I might tone down the spice next time for my little one.

Very fast recipe to put together and it tasted great. I made a few changes, such as adding dried oregano, hot paprika and a pinch of cayenne. I omitted the salt - WAY too much sodium. I used a bottle of beer instead of the water, and let it simmer for 30 minutes before adding the beans (plus some chopped green pepper). I let it simmer another 30 minutes, and served it with grated cheddar and a dollop of sour cream on top.

Nice hearty chili. We halved the Chili Powder and meat, but added a can of corn and white beans.

Amazing recipe! The best chili we've had. It will definitely be one of our staple meals. We changed it up a bit - 1 large can of crushed tomatoes instead of diced, added 1 can of tomato paste for thickness, added 2 jalapeños for kick, used beef broth instead of water, and a dash of cinnamon. Perfect!

surprisingly the chili at my university dormitory was the best chili I've tasted, but this recipe is pretty darn good. my husband absolutely loved it. I personally didn't like the Italian style tomatoes, too chunky for me, but otherwise it was good.

Very Very easy and hearty. I leave out most of the water to make it thicker, and use 2 cans of kidney beans. You can make it hot or mild - great w/ sour cream and cheese!

This was amazing! I tweaked it a bit, adding two packets of El Paso Chili seasoning instead of the spices listed, some Italian seasoning, and a bunch of chopped celery. Other then that, I stuck right to the recipe. And what a fantastic recipe! I will definitely be using this to make chili again and again.

This recipe is easy to work with. We didn't need eight servings. I made some adjustments.(one pound ground beef,two cans diced tomato,(one chili ready,one regular).Reduced the spices based on the recipe portions.Used one onion and three garlic cloves.For the water,kept it at one cup,but used 1/2 water and 1/2 beer. Added green peppers and corn. Can't wait to make the full recipe next time.

We had this for dinner last night and we really enjoyed it. I halved the recipe, which wasn't the easiest thing to do since it meant I had to split up the tomatoes and the tomato sauce. I hesitated over adding the water, ended up doing it, and had to use some cornstarch to thicken it up. Other than that though, it was fantastic, easy, and we'll be adding it to our dinner rotation!

If you need a quick chili, use this one. This was the best ground beef chili I ever made or ate. I don't usually like chili made with ground beef - never considered it the real thing! This is quick and flavorful. Ignore the review that says it's terrible! I'm throwing out all my other quick chili recipes and only going with this one.

I've made this twice now and it is VERY good. Quick and easy with fantastic results. I was somewhat confused with the ingredient list: it calls for 2 cans of Italian-style diced tomatoes, but then the directions refer to tomatoes with chili peppers. I used 3 cans regular diced tomatoes (undrained) and then one 4oz. can (drained) diced chilies. I also used all kidney beans and reduced the salt to 2 tsp. and the hot pepper sauce to 1 tsp. (I'm a weakling when it comes to spice) Delicious!
