this is pure comfort food, and is very similat to the way i make mine, so of course we loved it. i used freh chopped onions and 2 jalapenos, seeded and diced. i also used chipolte chili powder, 3 tbsp, nicely spicy.
delicious, easy and dinner in an hr and a half start it up and relax, i stirred every 20 minutes or so

I have so many different chili recipes I use (it's one of my all-time favorite meals) and I came across this and decided to try it after seeing the delicious looking photos of it! I made it for husband and I last week and we both LOVED IT!!! I did make a few small changes - but left "basic" recipe as is. I used 1.5 lbs of beef because that's what I had in my fridge (rather than 2 lbs), I pureed my can of diced tomatos in my food chopper as hubby doesn't like chunks of tomato and I added 1/2 green pepper (diced) to the chili because I like to get some veggies somewhere in my meals! I also let it simmer for MUCH longer (almost 4 hours) to "merry" all of the tastes more.... it was SO perfect and will definitely make it again. We added a bit of grated mexican cheese on the top... and had garlic sticks on the side! We had it for leftovers the next day (lunch) and it was even BETTER!! Yum!!!!!

This was good and easy to make. I did make some changes though. I used beef broth instead of water and cut out the cayenne pepper. I also cut the chili powder down to two tablespoons and only used 1/2 teaspoon of salt. I also used black beans and white kidney beans. Ths was good the day I made it but even better the next day.

This was one of the first recipes i ever got from Zaar, and can't believe i never rated it. My whole family eats this without complaints. I'm going to adapt it and throw it in the crockpot next week...which makes it even better.

This was a very delicious base recipe: I substituted 1 guiness plus 150ml. of water instead of 2 cups water, added 2 tsp sugar, 2 cans spicy diced tomatoes, mushrooms, yellow, orange pepper & celery. Awesome meal!

I think this was the best chili I've ever had. Although I had to alter it a bit for 'the fussy' man (he likes it very thick). I used 1 can of sauce, omitted the water, used about a cup of fresh onions instead of dried, added a cup of green peppers, used fresh minced garlic and threw it all in the crock pot on high for about 5-6 hrs. I thought it was just the perfect amount of heat but I think next time I will cut down just a bit on the cayene & chili powder per 'his' preferences. But, I now have finally found my chili recipe and will look no further!! Thanks PanNan!

This was a very nice chili for a cold night. Easy to prepare & the results were terrific. I added 1 onion & subbed a chipotle pepper for the cayenne. It does have the flavor of the Wick Fowler packets. Thanks PanNan for another terrific recipe!

Although I changed a few things (like less chili powder for the kiddies), this was a very good chili. I used one pound of ground beef and one pound of small red kidney beans as well as a little sugar (probably 1 tsp or less). I usually try to sneak in a few healthy extras in my soups, so I added about 1/3 cup rolled oats and one green bell pepper disguised by chopping it into small bits in my blender. The rest of the family never noticed and even my very picky sister gobbled it up--she said it reminded her of Krystal's chili. I guess that's a good thing since she likes Krystal's!

This is a very simple chili to prepare. I made a few changes for personal preference but overall left the basic recipe alone. I used beef broth instead of water, left out the cumin and added half the salt and used 4 large frozen tomatoes in my freezer. I made this the day before I needed it so the flavours would have a chance to blend together. Thanks for such a tasty recipe.

As one of those people who has always slow cooked cooked chili for 2-3 hours to get it just so, I was just bowled over by the fabulous flavor of this dish. It was smoky and spicy and meaty with spices running throughout every savory bite. I used ground turkey which can a particular challenge for beefy chili - in this one it worked just fine. I was making a small batch with 1 pound of meat and tossed in a full can of tomatoes. That turned out to be just the right consistency for me 'cause I do like to slurp my chili a bit. Thanks PanNan!

Everyone gave this a huge High Five Stars. I did reduce the chili powder and cayenne pepper for the weenies in this household. I also added mushrooms as a personal preference. This was wonderful. My pot of chili is almost gone and I was hoping for left overs. Thanks for my new chili recipe!!!!

Really nice chilli! I think I made a fairly good guess on how much diced tomatoes to add because the chilli turned out great! I halved this for the two of us, used those yummy kidney beans, and 2 tsp of Australian chilli powder - very different to the stuff you use I assure you!! Nice and spicy, we both really enjoyed - thanks for posting! PS For the sake of us that don't live in the US, please put some sort of measurements - a 'can' doesn't mean much!

This was good chili! I did sub beef broth for the water and forgot to delete the salt so mine was a "hair" salty, but delicious. Per PanNan's preference I left out the beans and it was meaty,thick and delicious, it will make fabulous chili dog topping! I think next time I make this I will add a can of green chiles to the mix to see how I like that addition. As always Nan, my compliments to the chef!
