Pretty much followed your recipe, but since I wanted to make it vegetarian, I omitted the hamburger & increased the beans & water each to 4 cups! I packaged most of it for freezing, but we did make a supper of the rest, to which I added some chopped up meat balls that were left over from a previous meal! All that worked very well, & I like the veggie version because I can then thaw & serve it when I have vegetarian friends/relatives over, OR I can just add some pre-cooked ground meat or chopped chicken breast or . . . Thanks for a great, from scratch, chili! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick A Chef event]

Easy to make, easy to double, and a good tasting chili! Since it begins with dry beans, it was just what I was looking for!
