This was tasty and very easy to make....which gets 5 stars in my book! Made a few changes based on what I had....no mushrooms (my son isn't a fan anyway). I didn't have any chili beans in sauce....so used an undrained can of red kidney beans. And I also added a 8 oz can of tomato sauce. Will definitely make again.....perfect for those crazy nights when you gotta get something on the table ASAP. Thanks for sharing!

I made this on 9/04/09 for mine and SO's dinner.The recipe was changed a bit, so it would suit our tastes. Since I don't care for mushrooms, those were left out. The amounts of chili powder, cumin, and oregano were left as written. Instead of using the cayenne, Recipe#38719 was used.I did let this simmer a bit longer than 5 minutes, just so the flavors would have more time to " meld ". I can't eat chili without cheese, so I added cheese and left off the sour cream. All and all not a bad chili recipe. Thanks for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) "

This was good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written. I used ground turkey and didn't add the mushrooms, oregano or salt. This is a very mild chili. I added another teaspoon of chili powder and topped the servings with cheddar cheese instead of sour cream. We enjoyed this.

Super Simple Supper. Say that 3 times fast :). Very good basic chilli. I omitted the mushrooms, DH is not a fan. I also used 2 cas of beans and 2 cans of tomatoes to make it spread a little more. Vary good and just the right amount of heat.
