I loved the flavour of this recipe, but agree with Dana. That must be a typo with the water, I suggest just covering the ingredients with water, and letting it cook all day. I made it for a large family gathering and they all loved it. I used scotch instead of tequila, as we didn't have any, and of course a beer. I think that's a great ingredient for many different types of sauces, it really helps to bring the flavours out. Thanks Somers!

I will not say that this recipe makes terrible chili, but I made it for a group and got very low feedback from all the folks who tried it. It was likened to canned chili. Personally, I did not care for it, but I really like chili to have a lot of kick and I am not a beer drinker and found the beer/tequilla flavor objectionable. IMHO the recipe is okay, but if you have a tried/true recipe, just use it instead.

This is a great recipe. I substituted ground buffalo for the ground beef. I browned the buffalo in patties on the grill smothered with Chef Paul Prudhomme's "Blackened Steak Magic" then crumbled the patties in the pot and cut the chili powder down in half. Also, I thought there must have been a typo for the 11 1/2 teaspoons of pepper and 11 1/2 cups of water. I used a tablespoon of pepper and added 6 cups of water and it was perfect. Thanks for providing a wonderful baseline for the perfect pot of chili!
