I love this chili! I think the ingredient that makes this chili is the refried beans! They give the chili a good texture. Instead of using tomato juice I use tomato sauce. I think the juice would be too runny. I replaced two of the cans of kidney beans with two cans of pintos. That is just a personal preference though. Thanks for the great recipe! I haven't made another chili recipe since trying this one! It has the perfect taste for my family!

Okay this was originally from a Quick cooking magazine years and years ago. I never use tomato juice always tomato sauce. I also always add more spices as we like things spicy. In recent years I have gone to adding homemade refried beans. We love the thickness of this chili and the depth the refrys add to it. This has been my standby since I was pregnant with my 6yo. First time it was made in my house my DH made it as I was to sick to do so (gotta love all day morning sickness) and we fell in love with it from there.

The chili is very tasty, but a little liquidy, more like chili soup. It is very quick and easy though. Might try again, but cut down on the liquids more this time.
