I added a can of corn. And it was a huge hit. If you don't eat meat try it with Veggie crumbles. Topped with some shredded Taco Cheese it's excellent!

Rated 5 stars by my husband. I'm not much of a chili fan so I couldn't rate it properly. He rated it a 5 because he said he'd like me to make it again. It is a very, very mild chili.

This is a very good chili recipe! I followed your recipe except I added some pork sausage in with the beef, when browning meat. The taste was awesome! Thanks for submitting such a good recipe! The flavors melded very well. And the wine added a nice touch!
