Pretty good chili. I followed the recipe exactly. It isn't very spicy, so don't be afraid to add the full amount of hot pepper sauce. It's a good recipe, although the next time I make it I'll probably omit the cinnamon. I could smell it (the cinnamon) more than I could taste it and it just seemed a little misplaced.

We really enjoyed this recipe. Like another reviewer I didn't have fresh tomatoes, so I used canned diced tomatoes and instead of water I used the liquid from the can (I cut the recipe in half so as to only make 4 servings and one 15 oz. can equaled one cup of tomatoes ) which I drained and measured. If it hadn't been enough I would have added water. The spice blend in this recipe was excellent as written. Thank you for sharing.

I liked this recipe it very easy. I did not use fresh tomatoes as i did not have any. I used a can of tomatoes and left out the one cup of water if you like thinner chili then you should add the water. It wasn't super spicy so if you like it really spicy i would had more hot sauce or red pepper. i did add a little extra chili powder.

Was trying to figure out to do with some extra tomatoes I had and found this. I only found out that I didn't have chili powder so I used Taco seasoning instead (powder) which worked out well. I think the tsp of hot pepper was a bit much for my kids so I added some sour cream to cut that down a bit. Served with Tortilla chips. Very easy and would make again.

I had a bunch of tomatoes that were going bad, so this was a perfect recipe (doubled) to use them up on and it was absolutely yummy! Could use a bit more spice, though, and I am not a big spicy lover. I also used dry pinto beans simmered with onion, garlic, cumin and a bit of chili powder then drained and added to the recipe.
