I did make a few changes to this recipe, but the changes I made didn't really affect the taste too much. I used stew meat instead of ground beef and I added a few drops of pepper sauce, because it just didn't have the kick to it that I was wanting. We just prefer the stew meat for the chili, so I cut the meat up into very small pieces and used that. Great recipe.
