This was a perfect thing to do with 1/2 lb. of ground beef. Delicious chili! I didn't have kidney beans so I used black beans. The spice amounts are just right. Served with toppings of cheddar cheese and sour cream, alongside tortilla chips, made this chili one heck of a great weekend lunch. Thanks!

Me and my wife loved the chili con carne, but i like to always try and improve on thing. So i put 4 squares off high quality cooking chocolate in the chili five minutes before the end. what a differance it made.

We tripled this recipe and had it on Super Bowl Sunday, with several friends. Everybody loved it. Also, we gave the recipe to friends who used it as is and they praised it highly, too! It's a great recipe.

When I first saw this and then started to make it I thought it would be far too much for two people. Guess who was wrong!!! It was all taken care of in short order. I did not change anything in the recipe and it was terrific. I like how easy and fast it was to do. Thanks for the post.
