This is a great recipe. I cut the amount in half for the meat, and use 2-3 onions, and at least 4 cloves of garlic, and also a whole green pepper. Comes out with a lot of flavor.

Made this recently was happy with it for the most part but me and my husband thought it was a tad to salty. I'll decrease the salt when i make it again

This was very good! The only thing I did was add a jalapeno pepper to it, because we like spicy food. :)

Perfect, Basic exactly how I Love it Chili!! The only thing that makes it better is adding some Cumin :) And to make life easier it's perectly delicious when you use the Tomato, Onion & Garlic all together in the can!! Soo Good, & also comes out good just on the stove, if you don't have a slow cooker, don't worry! Just let it simmer on the stove for about an hour!!

I used ground turkey and added some cayenne pepper and hot sauce for an extra kick. Great chili.

Modified this recipe some, I used one large green onion instead of two medium onions, I used a store bought tomato sauce that was meant for microwaving and making quick spaghetti, but I've heard from a few people that it works well, with the seasonings that are in it. I also used only 1 and a half pounds of ground beef, because that's all I had. I also added a few different spices, a chili spice, which is a blend of a few kinds of peppers, and some paprika. Also added a tablespoon of sugar to the whole mix, to soften the acidity of the tomatoes. Great recipe for a simple chili, and a great starter for your own recipes!

I never made chili before, but this turned out quite good (though not absolutely outstanding) with some alterations. I used half the beans and half the chili powder. My husband neither likes beans nor extra spicy food. Even though this was said to be a milder chili recipe, it was spicy enough for us, even with half the chili powder. I also kept scooping out the extra liquid from the crockpot. I'm glad I did or else it would have been too liquidy.

We loved this recipe! It made so much (I added 1 can of black beans, and a schwack of garlic) that I used 2 crock puts and frozen about 1/3 of it once we had eaten.

Tasty but something was missing, I just couldn't put my finger on it. I would make again - perhaps play around with the spices a little. All in all a good recipe.

Too much salt! I also used ground turkey instead of the beef. I shall try again without the salt.

I enjoyed this recipe, but found it slightly dry. Adding another can of diced tomatoes took care of that. The nice thing is that you can season it t taste. For a little more spice, try adding: an extra tablespoon chili powder 1 teaspoon dried parsley 1 teaspoon dried basil 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano These can be gradually added as you finish cooking the chili.

This is a really good chili recipe. I did not have the problem of it being "dry" at all. It was actually a little liquidy, but I imagine the leftovers will be less soupy. I thought it was good as-is, but my husband said it could use a little less onion (I used 2 large onions) and more meat (I used a little less than 2 lbs.) Only changes I made were to use a red pepper instead of a green one and I added a tsp of cinnamon.

My fiance and I absolutely loved this recipe!!! I'm not a huge spicey food fan though so next time I'm going to use less chili powder, but other then that I wouldn't change a thing!

My husband and I both love this recipe. It's the best chili recipe I've tried. I used stew meat or cubed chicken breast instead of ground beef (as I don't care for ground beef in chili), but it comes out wonderfully this way. I also add a couple of teaspoons of cumin for some smokiness and use rotel diced tomatoes for chili instead of plain. A hit every time! Thanks for this recipe!
