I was so excited to try this chili recipe and followed the directions to a tee (except I used jalapeño instead of habanero). But, I have to say I was disappointed with the result. It seemed like all I could taste was the jalapeño and hot spices. Don't get me wrong, I like spicy foods but I also think chili should have a taste to it. This simply tasted like "jalapeño soup" -- I couldn't taste anything in it that gave it any flavor. I can't imagine the "flavor" I would've gotten if I'd used a habanero pepper! I did, however, "doctor up" the leftovers with some more tomato sauce, cumin, chili powder, sugar, brown sugar, onion powder, and salt and it did improve on the chili flavor a little.
