This was delicious! It was very much enjoyed by the whole family. I used Tinkerbelle's suggestion and served it over spaghetti noodles with garlic cheesy bread on the side. I topped the spaghetti with shredded cheddar cheese.....it was sooooo good. I added a tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, a bay leaf, and a teaspoon each of dried oregano and basil and some fresh cracked black pepper and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the recipe.I will use this for chili spaghetti all the time! R.I.P. Stacey, thanks for posting all these treasured wonderful recipes!

We really enjoyed this chili recipe. Great flavor to it and very easy to prepare. I didn't start in time to use the crock pot, so I let it simmer for about 2 hours on the stove. Delish! I served it over spaghetti noodles (as I do most often with chili) & garlic sourdough toast on the side. Made in remembrance of Stacy.

Absolutely wonderful chili! I forgot the celery at the store so that didn't end up in it but will not hesitate to add it next time. I combed this site for 3 hours looking for just the right chili and am so glad I picked this recipe. My picky husband loved it (rare for him) as well as I. Only substitution made was the kidney beans. What I had in the cupboard was way past the expiration date (which I found out at the last minute) so I used black beans which ended up being just as superb. Thank you very much for this 10 star recipe!! Note: this is a suber tasty base recipe. If you like hot chili you may need to adjust the heat level a bit up. Don't hesistate to give it a try thought as it's very very good!
