This was the most god awful chili we have EVER had the misfortune of eating, actually not even eating, just tasting because we couldn't get past the horrible flavor. Hey, if you like super sweet ketchup flavored meat stew, by all means go for it! I hardly ever leave reviews and never leave bad ones, but I had to make an exception for this. I would like to add, I am by far a novice in the kitchen, my poor hubby picked this atrocity out before I got up this morning. OP, you should be ashamed of yourself, calling this devil spawned recipe chili.
