This is a pretty decent base chili recipe. I used a few less beans and little more beef. The soupy consistency is solved with a tablespoon of masa. In lieu of masa, cornstarch would work too.

Drained the beans like others did. Added tons of chili powder and even some texas pete to try to get it spicier...good recipe for a base - will make it again with some adjustments

Excellent chili! As others, I found it a bit soupy the first time I made it. Now I just dump out all the liquid from the kidney beans and it's just right!!

Very good! I used about 1 1/2 lbs of ground beef and I only used three cans of kidney beans (it just seemed like a lot of beans)with one green pepper. Also, I added garlic powder, salt and pepper and used A LOT more chili powder than the recipe called for. I used about four tablespoons. It was a little watery so I added a small can of tomato paste! I thought it was a great recipe overall! I will make this agian without a doubt! Thank you!

I used the large cans of kidney beans, and I drained the liquid, but used about 2 cups after everything was in the crockpot. I didn't find it to be watery. Served with cheese, and oyster crakers! Although it was GREAT it wasn't 5 star quality.

I would rename this recipe from Chili to a Bean soup. It tasted wonderful and I will definately have it again.

Try using tomato paste in place of some of the canned tomatoes for a thicker consistency. You may want to add a bit of suger, however, to sweeten it up.
