This was only ok, especially for the amount of ingredients and work that went into it, I was expecting a lot more taste.

This was good. I thought the taste of beer was pretty strong and I like beer but I thought it was a little overpowering. I would make this again but probably use maybe half the amount of beer.

This chili was edible but very unremarkable. My husband made it to take to a chili cookoff, and not only did it not win, it was one of only two chilis (out of 27 entries) that were leftover after the event! The only thing we can think of that would have made it better was to use a different beer. He used "Sierra Nevada Pale Ale", which in spite of its name is a fairly hearty brew. Perhaps the chili would be better made with Miller light or similar? After tasting this, I can't help but wonder if some of the prior reviewers were taken in by the "coolness factor" of serving chili made with beer. Let me be the first to tell you -- the coolness factor does not make up for the taste of this stuff. And the nearly 200 people who attended this chili cookoff - and chose not to eat it - are proof of that.

Well, it was easy to make. It's basically a bucket of canned beans; a combo of beer and too much dry mustard. My husband liked it, though!

Great chili!! I tweaked it a bit, but that's what makes chili great. I used dried beans instead of canned, but for the most part followed it all the way to the end.

I actually would have given this 0 stars if possible. I usually have a good eye for recipes that will taste good. I tried to save the flavor with a few additions such as onions and peppers(who ever heard of chili without onions and peppers?), but it still wasn't good.

I love this chili!!The only changes I made were replacing corn with celery and a green pepperand omitted the black beans ( forgot to get at store). My hubby, who hates beans, loved this dish.

This was very tasty and not very difficult. The beer in the recipe is what makes it different than other veg chili, for me. I thought the beer flavor was pretty strong, but my boyfriend said he couldn't taste it at all. So maybe it was just a mental thing for me. Either way it was very good.
