Very good chili! Doubled the beans and the chile powder. Instead of hamburger, I had some not-so-tender sirloin so cut in 1 inch cubes then pulsed it in my food processor about 8 times...perfectly delicious! Served with Trader Joe's cornbread.

Thank you for this recipe, the cayenne added a nice kick. I found it kinda watery so I added some barley. Crusty buns makes a nice sloppy joe as well.

I made this recipe to the letter except for the chopped onions, I used onion juice, as my DH will not eat anything with onion in it. This chili had a great taste, my DH said it was excellent. I think it was a little too thin, but I'm sure it can be thickened up somehow...
