My whole family loved this one. I will make again but I will leave out the sugar, makes it too sweet.

A+++++ I have made this twice and it is awesome. Both times I put it in my crock pot in the morning and we had it for supper that night. Even though I put it in the crock pot I still browned and drained the meat first. The first time I made it there was a very slight sweet taste to it. It wasn't bad but we are just not used to a sweet taste in our chili so the next time I left out the sugar and it was perfect. This chili is not spicy so it is perfect for the kids, we adults add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to our bowls to spice it up a little more. The only other thing I did was adding flour to make it a little thicker. I took out a cup of the broth and mixed it with flour to make a paste and let it simmer. We will be making this often.

Very good recipe. Quick and easy. Great for after a long day of work. I noticed that some of the other reviews said that it was a little watery. To make it a little thicker I added 1/2 cup ground up tortilla chips. I ground them in my food processor could also be done in a blender or a plastic bag and a rolling pin. Great recipe.

This chili recipe was very tasty...the best I've tried. I substituted 1 lb ground beef and 1 large leftover prime rib (cubed), halved the amount of onion, left out the hot sauce (for my daughter's sake), and used 1 C dark beer instead of water. I also let it simmer uncovered for about 2 hours as it seemed a little watered down. The next time I make this recipe, I'll add one can of black beens in addition to the kidneys and pintos that the recipe calls for. I'd recommend this recipe to anyone who likes a hearty, classic-falvored chili.

Loved it, but a little thin. I think you should use tomato paste instead of sauce. Also, I added a dash of cinnamon to cut the chili powder and crushed tomato for smaller tomato chunks. Will definitely use again!

I have made this recipe several times and my family loves it. I have varied the beans and used left over meatloaf once. Definitly a Do Again recipe at my house.

OK, it was "just chili" and I don't see what all the excitement is about. There was also some flavor in it that I did not prefer, but could not place my finger on what it was, or possibly a combination of flavors?

This chili was FABULOUS!!!! I made a couple of changes by using a cup of dark beer instead of the water, and for one of the cans of diced tomatoes I used a can of Rotel "chili fixins" diced tomatoes. Topped with some sour cream and cheese and atop white rice this was the best!

This chili is awesome! My boyfriend and I have made it at least 5 times because we always get a craving for it. I've also made it in the crock pot and it turns out very well.
