Cu's Chili

"I found this recipe about 25 years ago in a consumer report magazine. They were trying to find the best can chili recipe. They came up with their own and this is it. I have made this for years. It is really good. If you like it hot like I do. Add cayenne pepper or tabasco sauce."

I love this Chile receipe. Have been making it for years now. When serving I also add some shredded jack cheese and sprinkle a little Louisiana tabasco sauce. It’s wonderful. Thanks

Thanks so much. I have been making this for years but lost my recipe. It's a family favorite... I sub red bell pepper.

I really enjoyed this spicy chili. It was one of the best tasting chili's I've had in a long time. I didn't have green bell peppers, so I just added some celery instead, but next time I'll be sure to make this chili with some bell peppers. I think this chili would also be good as a topping for hot dogs (a.k.a.chili dogs.) Teresa, I wish I could give this recipe more than 5 stars, as that's how good it is, plus it's one mighty tasty chili. Awesome chili, thanks for sharing the recipe!

This is a great chili recipe, even DH gave this 5 stars!!! I made this as written except I used one can of light red kidney beans and one of northern beans(what I had on hand), and I cut back on the amount of green pepper, as DH isn't a huge fan of it, but didn't seem to mind the amount I put in this chili. I also really liked using crushed tomatoes, no chunks!! Thanks for sharing the recipe Teresa!! Made for "For Your Consideration" tag game.

Awesome tasting chili and easy to put together. I used red bell pepper instead of green and mixed beans instead of kidney beans with great results. It was even better the next day!
