This is a great recipe for families with different taste buds. I fed my family of six this recipe Superbowl Sunday and what I liked about it was that it wasn't too hot for the young or older ones and for us in the middle we were able to heat it up to our liking. I served it up with some garlic bread and the meal was complete. I only added four cans of beans - three red kidney and one black bean. I don't think the recipe suffered from the lack of the other two cans. Has anyone made this recipe and added cornstarch to thicken it up? I didn't find it overly thin, but debated with my sister whether or not to add the cornstarch. In the end we left it as is.

My husband and I really liked this recipe. I followed the advice of other posters and drained the majority of the liquid from the beans, as we like thicker chili. Also, I sauteed the onion, celery, pepper, and garlic in butter with a bit of chipotle chili powder before adding to the slow cooker. I will definitely make this again!

Was looking for a recipe that was similar to one I used to use but lost. This was it and it was great. If you like it spicy, you will need to up the spices. I also added some cumin and swapped out the tomato puree for tomato chunks. Everyone loved it!

This was awsome and so delicious. I used ground chicken rather than beef and found there was no difference in taste. The ground chicken was usefull in reducing the cholesterol levels in this meal. I will keep this recepie in the faves.

I love this recipe! I have made it twice now and the only thing I did different was add more of the veggies and used a little cheyenne pepper to give it more of kick (but not too much). I ended up making it with pinto beans the second time around instead of kidney beans (I live in CO and during the blizzards the grocery stores were a little low on items) and it tasted great once again.

I had success with this recipe, with a few small changes from reading reviews. I did NOT add celery. I also drained 2 cans of beans and left one undrained. I used one can of tomato puree and one can of diced tomatoes. I bumped up the seasonings by using 1.5 T of chili powder, extra garlic, and almost 1 tsp of tabasco. The chili came out great and my husband described the flavor as "earthy." He liked it.

I made this for a crowd to celebrate my daughter's birthday. I doubled the recipe and they were still scraping the crock pot for more! I left out the onion, added a bit more beef, left out one can of kidney beans (one without liquid). It was delicious! I served it with sour cream, shredded cheese and corn bread. Definately my new chili recipe!

Loved this!! I added a can of diced tomatoes and used medium chili powder. Next time I'd add a jalapeno too... wasn't quite spicy enough for these heat lovers!!

I had made the suggested changes to this chili per previous reveiws like added more chili powder for the blandness and drained the beans prior to adding them to the slow cooker because it was stated to be to watery and soupy, and what a mess it came out to be! It was way to pasty (too much tomoato paste in it) all you could taste was all the tomoato paste in it! The added chili powder was nice, good spice but thats about it! It was like a glob of tomatoe paste. So I added some stewed tomatoes, with water as well as a can of niblets corn to get some consistence back. but all in all the flavor of spice was good, but thats about all. I wont do this recipe again. Sorry.

We really liked this chili; and I'm not a big fan of chili! I sauted the onions, peppers & celery in a little butter to give them a head start with softening. I followed the recipe but I will make one change next time. When I was eating it I felt it lacked a little 'tang' so I mixed a little ketchup in and thought it was perfect. Next time I'll add 3/4 cup - 1 cup ketchup to the whole recipe. Also, I cooked it for 4 hours on high. My family, especially my husband (a huge chili fan) loved it!

There is something seriously wrong with putting celery in chili. My family are chili fanatics, I make all different kinds and this is by far the worst one. It doesn't taste like any chili I've ever had before. It was very bland. I won't be making this again EVER.

I gave this 4 stars and not 5 because although the taste was outstanding, (The best chili I've made EVER!) it was too soupy. I cooked it on high for 5 hours then another hour with the lid off. And the onion and celery were still crunchy. (I omitted the green pepper) I'm not sure if it's my slow cooker, which is quite old or the recipe. I ended up transferring the whole thing to a big dutch oven and simmered it uncovered for another hour until it reduced to a nice thick consistency. My advice to you if you use a slow cooker for this recipe would be to brown the ground beef with the onions and celery to start softening them a little. I'll certainly make this again, but I will cook it on the stove and not in the slow cooker.

I love this chili recipe. You can adjust the heat(spicy-wise) to this. I used ground turkey instead of ground beef. I used one 29oz can of tomato puree and one can of petite diced tomatos. I put everything in the slow cooker the night before and let it cook on low for an extra hour and half than what the recipe asked for.

This was pretty good, but not "wow." I had four men eat it who love chili and I barely got a compliment on it. Boyfriend said it didn't have enough flavor, and that's in spite of the fact that I inreased the chili powder. I don't eat chili so I have to go with what they say.
