This is my favorite kind of Allrecipes recipe: One that is solid as-is, but ripe for variations. Prepared as written, it's not "too" anything -- salty, spicy, etc. --leaving room to add according to one's preference, and the flavors balance well. The proportions of the recipe also lend themselves well to making a half batch.

I made several alterations to the recipe, but the result was delicious! I made this for a housewarming party last and several people asked for the recipe. I forgot to buy onions, so I added 3 extra cloves of garlic to the meat after it browned. I used Trader Joe's diced and fire roasted tomatoes with green chiles which gave the chili a nice kick. Because the tomatoes made it a bit too spicy, I also added Newman's Own Tomato and Basil Bambolina sauce (3/4 cup). The sauce is too sweet on it's own, but helped to balance out some of the heat. Lastly, I added 1 tsp of cumin. Next time I'm going to try adding some dark chocolate for sweetness and smoothness instead of the sauce, but the chili does need a little extra liquid. I'm also going to remember the onions.

Not only is this chili easy to make, it's the yummiest we ever had. My husband likes it so much, he'll make it himself. Enjoy!

This chili was so good! Not spicy at all so my 3yo was able to eat it. The only change I made was to add a little spaghetti sause to thicken it a bit in the end. Only half a jar I had left over. I loved it and will defintely be making this again.

Too much for our smallish slow cooker, had to cook on stovetop. Used one can kidney, one can pinto beans. There was just enough spice for just being chili powder. A little watery, next time I'll try draining at least one of the cans of tomatoes. But very good!

I made this on Tuesday exactly as the recipe directed me to and we loved it. We put it over fritos and topped with f-free sour cream and cheese. Yummo and easy!

This is very similar to the chili recipe my mom gave me. Instead of tomato sauce I put in another can of tomatoes and an extra can of kidney beans. I don't like a lot of meat so I only put in a pound. Very good! The best chili I have ever had!

This is the perfect basic chili recipe. I've used ground beef for this but I've also substituted cannellini beans or additional kidney beans for the meat and the flavor is just as good. I also like to add some Asian chili sauce (the kind you see in a lot of Thai restaurants with the clear squeeze bottle with the green cap). That adds a bit more heat and a unique flavor. Great recipe!

The first time I made this was for a potluck at work. I got it all ready and tossed it in the crock pot, letting it sit overnight. The house smelled Delicious the next morning. My coworkers loved it so much, I didn't get any. My family made me make it for the next night and it disappeared quickly. It is wonderful as is, no changes necessary, though I do tend to cut down on the onion a little, but that is only personal preference.

This was tasty and super easy to make. I cooked it on the stovetop but I would try it next time in a slow cooker. It tasted really good on tortilla chips.

This is the first time that I made chili, but thanks to the great recipe I hit a home-run! Instead of 2 cans of diced tomatoes and 2 cans of tomato sauce, I used 1 can of diced tomatoes, one 6 oz. can of tomato paste, and 1 home-canned stewed tomatoes with great results. Added cumin. Ran out of chili powder; probably only used half of what's called for. I used venison hamburger meat. It was very good. No gamey flavor whatsoever.

This was a great simple recipe. We added half a packet of McCorrmicks chili seasonings in addition to the other seasonings. Also an extra 6 oz. of tomato sauce (flavored with garlic.) We used the Rotel mild chili blend and 1/2 cup of sliced jalanpenos for a little kick and it turned out awesome.

Great chili! Only changes I made were to use Chili Style diced tomatoes, and only 1 can of kidney beans and added 1 can of Chili flavored Pinto beans. It is not spicy at all so if you are looking for that then you will need to add a little something to it..but great base recipe. Was great the next day as a frito pie with Chili Cheese Fritos.
