I was looking for a chili recipe and came across this one. I changed it by using 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 can diced tomatoes, seeds rinsed out, 2 cans of Red Kidney Beans, rinsed, instead of flour, and 1 4 oz. can mild chilies, diced. My husband loved it. I make it and after serving him with some cornbread, freeze the rest in 2 cup containers so I can re-heat them for his lunch for the next week.
