I loved it but also made a couple of changes. Instead of regular black beans in water and salt that I had to drain, I used the entire can of Cuban style black beans for extra flavor and thickness of the liquid that came with it; thus, omitting the broth listed on the recipe. I also sauteed fresh garlic along with the onions. I do like it a tad bit thicker so I julienned a couple of tortillas towards the end of cooking time to add to the texture and flavor. I served it as is in a bowl and topped it with sour cream, shredded cheddar and sliced green onions.

I liked this recipe but would omit the sugar. It took away from the flavor of the other spices.

I added cayenne pepper to make it a little spicier, and only used about a half cup of broth (which was still a little too much). It turned out great. Good with rice or ramen noodles too. Someone recommended lime, and i'd agree, otherwise omitting the sugar and/or adding extra chili powder. I did taste it before adding the sugar, and it was great. It seems the sugar killed all the good flavors, and really changed the taste (which was why I added the cayenne & extra chili powder afterwards). I see many chili recipes with sugar, so i guess it's just preference. Still a great healthy & quick recipe.

This was a good base for a turkey chili. I did make some of the suggested changes. I used only 1 tablespoon of chili powder, added chopped garlic instead of garlic powder, added a can of rotel tomatoes and even added a can of tomato paste because I found it to be way to runny for a chili. the tomatoe paste thickened it up to a better consistency. has a lot of kick.

I was looking for a recipe to use up some holiday leftovers, and this one did the trick, with the following modifications: Omit ground turkey. Add 1 cup each cooked, diced turkey and cooked diced ham in step 2 before bringing to a boil. Used about a cup of leftover corn instead of canned. I served in a bowl over some leftover mashed potatoes and topped with a bit of shredded cheddar.

Delicious! I changed a lot though. I seasoned the meat as I would season any other. Used black and kidney beans rinsed. Can of corn. And 2-3 jars of salsa. That's it. My family loves it with crackers or cornbread!
