I made this for dinner last night and I have to agree.... this is awesome! It wasn't to spicy, but could easily be made spicier if thats what you like. I didn't change anything and I loved it! I will forever use this recipe. No more canned chili for me!

Made for a tastey and easy chili. I chose not to add any water because I prefer a thick chili. The relatives and neighbors had positive comments.

This was a fabulous recipe. I had never made chili before and my family loved it. I started with 1/2 cup of water and then added more as it cooked to keep it to the consistency we wanted. I also added a can of Mexicorn as suggested by another review. This was a wonderful recipe and we are all looking forward to leftovers tonight!

Over the years, many bowls of chili have passed over these lips, but none with such a unique flavor. I will continue to enjoy this recipe. However, add some cumin for a bold flavor.

A waste of 2 lbs of ground beef. It tasted like something out of a can. I thought the baked beans would bring an unusual twist to this recipe but they were a big mushy disappointment and have no place in a chili. The tomato taste was way over powering and you could taste the soup. This is something I can guarantee I will not make again.

I had high hopes for this recipe but it just wasn't happening. Chili should have a nice bright taste. I think the baked beans made for an odd filmy texture and taste that didn't belong. I have used tomato soup in another recipe - Hoosier Daddy Chili -from this site and it blended in well so I don't think the failed taste had anything to do with that. Too bad really, as it was easy to prepare. Thanks anyway.

Average. The canned tomato soup was overpowering. My family kept asking what *is* that taste. I used 1 1/2 cups of water and 1 tsp. of cumin. I did not have 2 lbs of ground beef, so I used 1 lb. ground beef, 1/2 lb ground turkey and 1/2 lb. ground sausage. Make sure you *drain* the ground beef (I always do) *before* adding seasoning mix and putting in the crockpot or it will be runny and greasy. My family ate this but ask me to go back to making chili with *beer instead of tomato soup!*

The sausage makes this chili. Very good recipe. I added chili seasoning, cumin, and chopped jalepeno pepper to spice it up.

My family loved this chili...the only things that I changed were that I added some salt (to taste), and I added about half the water. It was perfectly beany, meaty, thick, and rich. It DEFINITELY tastes even better the next day. I will definitely be making this again, although I will add some green bell peppers next time. Thank you!

I thought this recipe was awesome! I never made chili before and was very nervous about it because my husband loves chili...but he loved it! I was very happy on how easy it was to make! The only thing I did different was put only 1/2 cup of water. It was perfect!I will definately make this recipe again!

I deleted the water and the consistency was nice and thick- like chili you eat in a bowl rather than as a topping. I also added a chopped green pepper for some color and texture. The only problem I ran into is that it was a bit mushy after 2 hrs- I sampled it at about 1.5 hours and it was delicious, but then I left the rest for the remaining half hour, and the beans were mushier than I would have liked. I'd sample it after an hour and fifteen minutes or so, and if you like the consistency then, just take it out. Next time that's what I'll do.

This chili was SO GOOD! I've made it two times now and the first time I followed the recipe exactly, except that I added a teaspoon of cumin. It was delicious. My only complaint was that it was a little soupy and would have been too runny for chilidogs. So the second time I used a half cup water instead of two and it was just the right dog consistency.
