I used this recipe as a base for the ingredients I had on hand, different tomato products and beans. I added a can of tomato paste - as it seemed a bit soupier than I like. A winner with the kids too!

I'm giving this a "solid" 4 of 5 stars. I tweaked it just a bit, using a pound of ground chuck and about 3/4 to 4/5 pound of mild italian sausage. Cut back on the salt a bit "just 'cause" and used a little stock rather than the water to give it a little "slow-cooked" flavor. I've had it on the stove for about a 1/2 hour and it's already respectable. I'm expecting good things with a little time for the flavors to "meld." Will definitely keep this recipe around, especially for quick-fix chili cravings.

Really great recipe, I made it while camping and it was perfect. I chopped everything up in advance and mixed the spices in tupperware so it was a breeze making it on the camp stove. I just omitted the sugar and hot sauce, and added a green pepper. We brought a bottle of hot sauce and everyone made it as spicy as they wanted. Yummy!

This is such a great comfort meal! I barely have to dirty any dishes and the flavor is just great. I like my chili spicy so I even put a little extra black pepper and hot sauce in! I usually don't use a full 2 pounds of meat, the beans are a nice filler.

Turned out well, but with some alterations: I used a slowcooker, and let it cook a good 20 hours. This allowed it to thicken up. I used hard cider in place of the water and added a few sprinkles of ground cloves. Next time I'll use only kidney beans, I like the firmer texture of the kidney beans more than the pintos. Also I'll use tomato paste rather than sauce to help with the overall consistency. Still I give this chili excellent marks for the blend of flavors, not too spicy, just sweet enough.

I found this chili a little spicy for my liking (but then again, my boyfriend adored it), and I used a little less meat and added a can of baked beans. It turned out super tasty and was also enjoyed by my roommates. Next time I would down the chili powder JUST a little.

This is a fabulous recipe for chili! Not only is it quick, it's also easy. I do, however add 2 cans of kidney and 2 cans of pinto beans. Rinse them well. Add also a green pepper to the onions when cooking. Gives a little more "meaty-ness" to it. Also, to give it a little more smoky flavor, I do my ground beef on our charcoal grill. Just adds the little something to the flavor. All in all, I'd say amazing recipe! Thanks so much for sharing!

This is a great basic chili recipe. Sometimes I use half ground turkey and half ground beef. I also add diced red and green bell pepper. I use the petite-cut canned tomatoes because I don't like big chunks of tomatoes. I start with half the amount of chili powder because some family members can't handle the spice. I serve it with sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese on the side. Yummy!

Next time I will use 2 cans of Kidney beans or I will rinse the can of Pinto beans. When I opened the can of pinto beans and added them I noticed they had a real salty smell to them. I did not like the taste the first day but the 2nd day it was good. I will try again

This exceeded my expectations! I used home canned tomatoes (not Italian) that were pretty watery so I didn't add the extra water. I used all kidney beans and omitted the cumin. This is great for watching the football games today! Thank you.

Fantastic! I made this chili the other night and it turned out great. My husband loved it! I couldn't find canned pinto beans in my local grocery store, so I used two cans of kidney beans...and for the hot sauce, I used a teaspoon and a half of the West Indies pepper sauce that we brought back from our honeymoon (very hot!). I took some of the chili to my dad and he raved about it. I will definitely make this chili again!!

This chili is excellent and very easy to make. We've made this recipe numerous times and it's been good each time. My wife finds it a little too spicy.

In the first chili cook-off 11/04, my husband won with this recipe, but subbed dark beer for water. I made Fusion Chili (Can you figure Quick Chili I beats out the more creative Fusion Chili?) In next chili-cookoff, husband stood by Quick Chili 1, But I tried Chili II by Cathie, adding fresh chilantro and bit more chili powder and about 2 TBL cumin. I won.

My husband and I love this recipe. I've made it about 5 times already and even people at my job love it. They ask me constantly when i'm going to make it again. If you find it too watery just let it boil a little longer. The only thing is I didn't use the sugar, it still came out perfect. Thank you so much for sharing.

I don't know why any one says that the recipe is too watery or sweet. I've never had that problem. My husband and I just love this chili. He would eat it every single day if he had the chance.

great quick dinner! We don't care for tomatoes in chunk form so I exchanged the can of stewed tomatoes for more tomato sauce and used chicken broth instead of water. I like to use ground turkey as well. Top with a blob of sour cream and cheese. YUM! Thank you Pam.
