I loved this chili! I kept getting requests for my chili but wanted something different so I thought I'd try this recipe and it was terrific! As others, I substituted chicken broth for the water and added a little more lime juice (not on purpose -lol) but it was great! I also served it with cilantro, crushed tortilla chips, and sour cream. I can't wait to eat the leftovers! Thanks!

Oh this is good! The smell while it was cooking had everybody in the house asking when dinner would be ready. I used chicken broth instead of water and Navy beans in place of great northerns since that's what my grocery store had. I think next time I'll try Pepper Jack cheese for a little extra heat. This is going to become a regular meal around here.

We love this recipe. Instead of water I used chicken broth. We put the chili in a bowl with a small flour tortilla at the bottom. We had sour cream, cheese, black olives, fresh cilantro, and tortilla chips to add. The flavor was amazing. Not a big fan of corn so we left it out. Family has asked for it again and again.
