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!

This recipe is great in taste as well as simplicity. I would recommend using the diced tomatoes with no salt added because I didn't and somehow it turned out too salty for us, I think 1 tablespoon of salt might be too much. I will try to cut down next time now that I know what to expect. You can always add salt but it is extremely difficult to reduce it once its in it. I did increase the pepper sauce due to personal preference and added a little more cumin, chili powder and a small dash of oregano.

Can't go wrong with this chili! Easy to make, even for a college student! I've made it on several different occasions, and it is always a huge hit. It even won a taste test between four other chili's at a friend's chili event. It's great without any changes or subs, but it's very easy to change to suit your personal taste as well. I like a sweeter chili, so I add ketchup. For the crowd that likes it spicy, I substitute cans of Rotel for one can of tomatoes. There's really no way that this chili can taste bad!

I have never made chili before 1. because I don't like it and 2. because my husband always raves about his own. But I wanted to try to make him some to see what he thought. I used 2 1/2 lbs of ground chuck instead of 2. I used chicken broth instead of the water and used 3 TBLS of the tabasco sauce, I used two cans of kidney beans instead of 1 each of the kidney and pinto beans and I left out the sugar. I also added a half of a green pepper and a half of a red bell pepper. He absoltely loved this chili, he says its better than his own and that says a lot for this recipe. I have a hard time making things like this for him because again I don't like it and I won't taste it so I have no idea what good chili tastes like. But thank you for the recipe it was great and will definetely make it again for him.

Oh this one is a good recipe... I tweaked a little bit: Added two stalks chopped celery and 1 chopped green pepper, replaced 1 can of diced tomatoes with a can of tomato paste, added a bay leaf, added two cubes beef bouillon and added masa harina (3 tbl) to thicken chili. Was really comforting on a cold fall day!

This is my husband's favorite chili recipe. I made very slight changes which are: Instead of Italian-style diced tomatoes, I use Chili-style diced tomatoes (usually find this at WalMart). I use 2 cups of water instead of 1. I increase the chili powder & ground cumin by 1 teaspoon each. Instead of simmering on the stove, I put everything in the crockpot and cook on low heat for 6 - 8 hours. Makes the house smell wonderful and the flavors have that "next day" taste which I love from soups, stews & chili.

Good and easy with most ingredients right in the pantry. I used ancho powder instead of chili powder. Also beer as other suggested instead of water.

This is excellent! I used a 28 oz can of diced tomatoes, one small can of tomato paste and one small can of tomato sauce and I omitted the chili powder because I have little ones. It turned out excellent. This is a super easy, delicious meal.

This was an excellent recipe. We omitted the hot sauce because children we eating too, but it was awesome with AND without! We made a couple of 'errors' with too little ground beef, too many beans...but it was fantastic besides the chefs mistakes...lol

Excellent! Used ground venison instead of beef; cayenne powder instead of hot sauce; and diced tomatoes with green chilis instead of 1 can regular. Fabulous! Served with cheese and oyster crackers.

I've made this multiple times. I almost always made a triple batch in my stock pot and freeze portions for lunches for next week or so. You can easily double the chili powder for more spice, or even puree a few jalapeno peppers with the tomato sauce when you add it.
