Unfortunately, I had to tweak it--dropping the serving amount down to 5 versus 40 listed, because of the change, it threw off the measurements, and I ended up eyeballing it. It still turned out fantastic, and I increased cayenne pepper since my boyfriend enjoys spicy dishes. I tried sirloin steak & ground, it was amazing. I added a bit of water to make it soupier. To make it more fall-festive like, I diced up yellow, orange and red peppers and some jalapenos, onions and mushrooms (all fresh). It gave it a nice coloring! We let it simmer too to give it a full flavor! We love the kick that it had!

We thought this was just mediocre. Will not make it again.

Very good spice mix! I too made my own chili but will use this mix again. I used all of the spices added 3 cans of water and at the end added masa flour dissolved in water to thicken. Yum

I love this recipe and so does everyone who I've ever fixed it for. People ask me for the recipe all the time. Although, I have made changes to the recipe. I use all the seasonings the recipe calls for, I have changed the "soup"ingredients. I don't use the round steak, I use all ground beef. I don't use the oil. I add a can of tomato soup to make it thicker and I don't use chili beans, I use light red kidney beans. Also, I don't puree the beans, but I do run both can through a blender until they are coarsely chopped. I highly recommend this recipe.

We only used the spices in this recipe, but the combination was very good! We like spicy chili so used about 2/3 of the spices in with 2lbs of ground turkey.
