Must be a lot. I add what I like to a recipe. This is a good chili base. I have used it at least 6 times & get request for it A LOT. I just add more items in the way I make it.-------Cook the ground meat (I use turkey like you do normally - season it (onions; bell pepper; oregano; basil; etc - whatever you like-------I like to add: sweet italian sausage/hot italian sausage/kielbasa sausage/dark kidney beans/black beans/kernel corn/more onions/more bell pepper.-------My family & co-workers eat it all (I make a lot. I tone down the heat for those that "can't take the heat". Instead of jalepeno powder I use sliced/diced pickled jalepenos (fresh too spicy.-------Use your own side w/it (rice; totillas; sour cream; cheese; baked potato - whatever you like.

I read the little disclaimer saying that the measurements might not be accurate. I made the chili with 4 pounds of ground beef I doubled everything on the list and it was amazing. I've never made chili before and my husband is awesome at making it but he didn't have enough time so I made it and he was very impressed. I added a Bullion powder instead of the cubes and 2 1/2 more the amount that it said. I used half of a Jalapeño because there was no jalapeño powder. I make a home made seasoning so I seasoned the meat while it was browning so that might have helped too. I also added beans to it since my husband loves them.

The chili was bland and lacking flavor. During the preparation process it was obvious this was not the recipe Cindy used in the Throwdown show. Will not use this recipe again, waste of time!
