Best chili I've ever had, just the right amount of spiciness . I made it just like the recipe and it is now my go-to recipe for chili

I had a little bit of pork cubes, ground pork, and ground beef I wanted to use to make chili and this is the recipe I chose. It was very easy and quick. Flavor is great. We are supposed to have one to three feet of snow and this can be eaten hot or cold in case we lose power.

This chile was good the first day I made it but was even better the second day. I just used two cans of beans and used water for the beer. Thought the 2 tablespoons of cumin would be too much but it wasn't. Thanks for posting such a tasty recipe.

This is delicious! I did increase the garlic (quite a lot), left out the red bell pepper (couldn't find a reasonably priced one), and went easy on the cayenne pepper, but followed the recipe in all other respects (yes, even the 2 tablespoons of cumin.) I have to admit being a bit concerned, especially since there are no onions in this recipe. Freshly cooked last night, I wasn't so impressed. Today, the flavors have melded, and it's very good indeed. Thank you very much for sharing this. (I used a dark beer.)
