We raked and burned leaves all day Saturday. I made this chili the night before. We had worked up quite an appetite and it really hit the spot. Highly seasoned and very delicious. It makes quite a lot so I froze half for us to have later on. The only ingredient I left out was the browning sauce--not real sure what that is, but the flavor wasn't missing anything.

Very tasty Chili recipe, I made a few changes as I didnt have 3 lbs of ground beef. I used half the amount of beef, the 2 cans of kidney beans, a 300 gram can of tomato puree, a 300 gram jar of salsa, approx 3/4 cup beef stock, only 1 tsp chili powder (we dont like it super hot) and about 1/2 cup of water. And just used the grated cheese for one of the options. This fed 4 happy adults with enough left over for 2 lunches. Mine being one! Will definitely make this again and freeze as suggested (thought Id do a big batch and take it camping) Thanks for posting.

Very good blend of flavors. The only changes I made were to use chili beans instead of kidney beans. I also only used 2 lbs of ground beef and I did sprinkle in red pepper flakes per a previous post. I didn't have browning sauce either so I omitted.<br/><br/>Very simple to make without a lot of measuring. I will definitely be making again and try adding some fresh minced garlic next time.

I just made this recipe tonight. Since my husband doesn't east chili, I was going to halve the recipe but I decided not to since you mentioned it freezes well. I made 3 changes. Instead of 1 medium green pepper, I chopped up 1/2 cup of various hot peppers (since I like the heat). Instead of a jar of salsa, I used a can of herbed diced tomatoes, with juices and added an extra 5.5 oz can of tomato puree. Finally, instead of kidney beans, I used mixed beans instead for variety. I also omitted the salt since there was some in the diced tomatoes. I loved it! I put a bit of grated cheddar cheese on top. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe. It is definitely going in my book!
