Same on me for not listening to the reviewers. There is a strange bitter aftertaste to this. I will stick to my recipe from now on.

Delicious! This was easy to put together--and fed a family of 4 with leftovers for the next day. My only complaint is that it was too spicy for my taste. I don't like my nose to run while I am eating my dinner...and this sure made it run! Maybe use 1.5 packs of chili powder instead of 2. Otherwise, everyone loved it!

This recipe was great! Of course I customized, I always customize things.. I didn't use the pork sausage or the stewed tomatoes. I also added a half can of corn, a cup of dried black beans (soaked over night), kidney beans, sugar to taste, a little water as well as a little garlic bit of powder. My boyfriend said it was the best chili he ever had :)

This has got to be the SIMPLEST and tastiest Chili recipe there is! In the effort to make it true chili, I left out chili beans (those are just a filler). I swapped the crushed tomatoes for fire roasted diced tomatoes, and left out the onions (allergy reason). This chili hits the spot!!!

I add an extra can of kidney beans, 1/2 can of tomato sauce and 1/2 onion. Awesome recipe!

I put everything into the crockpot last night and it was ready this morning. I also modified it just a little. I put bellpeppers and more meat. I also added a little water to it. I loved it. My husband said he thought it had a burnt taste also and a little to much spice for him. Next time I'll probably leave the onions out or add them maybe a couple of hours before it's done. I'd also only put one seasoning packet next time. Other than that it was a pretty good recipe.

My wife doesn't usually like my chili, but she liked this one! I added 2 cloves of garlic and some jalopenos. I didn't use the tomato soup but added one can of tomato sauce and one can of tomato paste. It was excellent.

I agree with the previous post. This has a weird bitter taste and bad aftertaste. I was told (as I brought it for a work potluck) that when you cook onions too long, the carmelized sugars start to burn. But, the bites with no onions were delicious! I like the canned tomato soup. It was a great idea.

This recipe is great! I made 3 minor modifications: browned the onions with the ground beef, added a touch of salt, pepper, and garlic salt to the beef/onion mixture and only used 1 package of chili seasoning. I will defintely make this again!
