Wow, this is a very thick chili after all the tortilla chips go in. I wish I would have cut my cubes of meat a little smaller than described in order to be more likely to get a piece in a spoonful. I also forgot to put the bacon in! What was I thinking, next time I make it I will make sure I remember (we even bought peppercorn bacon to spice it up a little more) Oh well! Great Recipie, one of the few I could find online which included meat AND beans, let alone those DELISH chips!

We enjoyed this very thick and hearty chili. We love the big chunks of meat. I used a little less than 1/4 cup of chili powder and that was still a little hot for us, but some sour cream cooled that off nicely. Definitely not lacking in flavor. Thanks Sue L ... great recipe!
