I added a 28-ounce can of crushed tomatoes and left the seasonings as recommended. It was nice to have the variety of beans in the chili. A wonderful recipe for a cold winter's night! Thanks for sharing.

You definitely have a great tasting chili here, although I did feel the need to cut back on the chili powder & cumin by about 1/3! This was made for just 2 of us so I also ended up freezing the rest of it in 2-serving packets (Nothing like having that extra freezer, as long as it gets used)! Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
