Love it. Fantastically easy to make and delicious. Thank you, Emeril! I used to love the Veg Head Chili and was trying to make a push for vegetarian but it just hasn't been satisfying and I've lost my love for it. This is the new chili in the rotation.

Very good and I substituted ground turkey and only used black and kidney beans. I could see adding or substituting more exotic chilies.

This is the first time I've tried to make chili and the results were fantastic. The recipe is pretty easy to follow. I added a chopped up, rehydrated ancho chile (seeds and all as well as some jalapeno to give it some more kick. I'm quite happy with the depth and flavor. It seems like a very adaptable recipe as well; if you want more kick, less kick, different hot sauces or different beans.

My favorite chili recipe! I doubled the recipe and made it for a party the night before. I stuck the whole pot in the fridge, took it out the next night, rewarmed it and had the easiest party ever. I hate having to cook my entire party. I think this recipe is perfect just the way it is. My favorite part is the touch of cinnamon.

I have added x-lean ground pork and turkey to this recipe as well as
canned geen chilles,canned jalepenos and 1 serrono chilli. I also add my favorite hot sauces.
Of course by the time you add all of this you need additional seanoning that are listed and some times more beans. I add 1 extra can of black beans and kidney beans.
It make a large pot but freezes well.
I have been told that it is the best chilli that anyone has ever had.
THANKS EMERIL!!!!!!!!

Loved it! Substituted 1 lb cubed stew meat for ground beef. Added an extra bell pepper, and if (when I make it again, will probably add even more veggies - carrots, as well as more bell pepper and onion. Used a bit less beef broth than suggested, based on others' suggestions. Couldn't find canned great northern beans or navy beans so used white kidney beans and extra black beans - worked out just fine. Flavor really improved with extra time to simmer. We love spicy food so added minced hot peppers (jalapeno, etc to each bowl to taste. Served with monterey jack and cheddar - the monterey jack was better. Can't wait to try a veggie version - plenty of protein and substance in this without the meat. A great winter Sunday afternoon recipe!!

I crave this chili as soon as the weather starts getting cold! It is my all time favorite chili recipe. It's not a heavy tomato based chili, has a complex flavor and is spicy enough without knocking your socks off. I love cinnamon too! Great w/ turkey as well. I have trouble finding canned great northern beans & navy beans so i substitute w/ white canelli beans, butter beans, or small white Goya Brand beans. Once i add the beans i usually have to simmer it for about 20 minutes longer than listed to get a thicker consistency. When adding the whole canned tomatoes: dump the tomatoes in the pot and use a potato masher to break them up. Definitely try out this recipe, it will be an instant keeper!

Used this recipe to get rid a can of Northern beans I'd had in the pantry a little too long. Loved it and have given up my other chili recipe in favor of this one. I use the spices to my own taste, but the cinnamon gives it a little mysterious kick that I like.

The recipe is delightful, for my surprise I like the flavor of the cinnamon, it gives a different touch to the chili. The next time I will use half of the mexican style chili powder, is to much spicy for my taste, and I am a person that loves the spicy food !! but this amount was a lot.
