This was just delicious!! Just made a few minor changes: I added a whole 14 oz. tin of unsalted tomato sauce, sauted a chopped onion, green pepper, some sliced carrot and one diced celery stalk. I also threw in one finely chopped jalapeno. Next time, I'll put in two. I used not one grain of salt - my canned tomatoes were also salt free and the flavour was so good that it wasn't missed at all. I also let it simmer for 45 minutes. It makes a huge pot and what doesn't get eaten for lunch this week, I will freeze the rest. As I am on a low cholesterol diet, I left out the cheese. Thank you, Rae! This one is definitely a keeper!

Very, very good recipe. I used a variation of this recipe and won bragging rights at my company chilli cook off. I was even asked to make it again at an administrative meeting (I'm not in administration!).

This was delicious - sauteed chopped celery, onion and green pepper with the garlic. The beer really added to it. thanks

This was good. I thought the taste of beer was pretty strong and I like beer but I thought it was a little overpowering. I would make this again but probably use maybe half the amount of beer.

This chili was edible but very unremarkable. My husband made it to take to a chili cookoff, and not only did it not win, it was one of only two chilis (out of 27 entries) that were leftover after the event! The only thing we can think of that would have made it better was to use a different beer. He used "Sierra Nevada Pale Ale", which in spite of its name is a fairly hearty brew. Perhaps the chili would be better made with Miller light or similar? After tasting this, I can't help but wonder if some of the prior reviewers were taken in by the "coolness factor" of serving chili made with beer. Let me be the first to tell you -- the coolness factor does not make up for the taste of this stuff. And the nearly 200 people who attended this chili cookoff - and chose not to eat it - are proof of that.

Well, it was easy to make. It's basically a bucket of canned beans; a combo of beer and too much dry mustard. My husband liked it, though!

Great chili!! I tweaked it a bit, but that's what makes chili great. I used dried beans instead of canned, but for the most part followed it all the way to the end.

I actually would have given this 0 stars if possible. I usually have a good eye for recipes that will taste good. I tried to save the flavor with a few additions such as onions and peppers(who ever heard of chili without onions and peppers?), but it still wasn't good.

This was very tasty and not very difficult. The beer in the recipe is what makes it different than other veg chili, for me. I thought the beer flavor was pretty strong, but my boyfriend said he couldn't taste it at all. So maybe it was just a mental thing for me. Either way it was very good.

Great recipe for a beginner. Easy to make and tastes great. I ended up tweaking the ingredients a little bit. I couldn't find Garbanzo and Cannellini beans at the local grocery store so I just bought a can of mixed beans and it tasted great. I also added a bit more chili powder. Great chili!

This is a good base recipe, but I did change quite a bit. I never have beer in the fridge so used white wine instead which added a nice flavour. I didn't use tomato sauce - just one can of tomatoes and one mini can of tomato juice because it was a bit too thick at the end. I only used three cans of beans as that's all I had and used frozen corn. There was a bit of tofu left in the fridge so I chopped that up and threw it in too! The spices listed make it quite spicy, but very flavourful. As I'd never made chili before, I wouldn't have known where to start, so this was a great recipe to point me in the right direction. Just know that it is flexible and you can change it to suit what you have on hand. Next time I might use dried beans (rehydrated obviously) and see how that turns out to save some money and cans!

quick, easy & delicious!! For my tastes the spice measurements were perfect. I didn't use cannelli beans and used 14 oz more diced tomatos instead of the tomato sauce. I just noticed there are no onions in this recipe, it tastes great, but next time I think I'll add an onion w/ the garlic at the beginning. This chili is hearty and I definitely don't even miss the meat (or cheese)!

This chili is amazing - tastes exactly like my mom's, even though she made hers with meat. I don't like things spicy, so I left out the hot sauce and it still had a mild kick. Definitely had to use two pots to fit everything! A great winter dinner!

Yummy! Even the meat-obsessed males in my household gave this a two-thumbs-up. The only variations I made were as follows: Added 1/2 onion to saute mix, omitted garbanzo beans, used frozen instead of canned corn, omitted cheese, and used Boca Burger pieces as suggested. The only gripe I have is that it isn't as spicy as I like - I'll have to play around with it next time to amp up the fire! This recipe made plenty... I'll be freezing some for future use.

This chili was much better than the previous recipe I tried. The only thing I did differently was cooking it in a slow cooker. Delicious, and full of protein and fiber.
