Really Good!Buti I may be partial being canadian myself! One trick which will make this a 6 star is to add about 1/2 dozen ribs and when the meat falls away remove the bone. Also I've used maple flavoured beans baked beans, and left the sugar out.. OUTSTANDING! and how much more canadian can you get with the maple flavour eh?

I like the idea of all the veggies and garlic and spice, but this turned out waaaay too sweet. I'd rather my chili be hearty, spicy, and hot. Perhaps you could try this without the sugar and substitute in a plain bean for the baked beans.

This is an awesome chili, but beware because it is very hot! We love the texture that the carrots and celery contribute. We also serve this Canuck (Canadian) chili "Cincinnati Style" (over spaghetti) to take off some of the lasting heat the taste buds experience. The spaghetti and chili do not store well together though so fix a new batch of spaghetti to serve with this fun flavored chili recipe. If you're looking for a GOOD hot chili (not, I added a load of insanity sauce kind of hot) then THIS IS IT, EH!

This recipe is the "BOMB" I like it hot and this did not dissapoint me in the least bit. All the ingredients where right own however I substituted white whine vinegar for the beer because I do not drink. But I did notice that the vegetables where too crunchy so next time I think I may boil them (especially the carrots before I add them. Other than that there was not nearly a thing wrong with it. But when family visits I think I will make a mild version (without the extreme heat) for those who can't stand the heat. I give this recipe ***** and a milky way

Solid recipe, will make again. Change the canned mushrooms for fresh ones of course, cut out the carrots, and make sure the BBQ sauce you use isn't too sweet; I think this is the reason some people are complaining about the sweetness of this. (Just check the label of your sauce and be certain sugar/ gluctose isn't the #1 ingredient) Also, for my purposes, I like things spicy and added another jalapeno, but even that didn't make it too spicy to eat for my other friends. I think I'd go up to four or even five if you're a true lover of spicy chili.
