A nice spin on a traditional chili. I followed the recipe without any modifications and my only comment is that it is very spicey in my opinion. I love spice so I didn't have a problem with it, but my kids were slightly put off. They just added twice the sour cream that they normally would have and drank about a gallon of milk with dinner. If I were making it again for the family, I would cut back on the chili powder (it does call for a ton!. This was even better the next day so make enough for leftovers!

This recipe is fantastic! I made it the day the Giants won the World Series and it was such a hit. I followed the recipe exactly - it bugs me when people tweak recipes too much - and it was so good! I would definitely make it again. I did follow the suggestion of one reviewer and added a roux to thicken it up a bit and I would also suggest adding an extra can of pinto beans if you want it "beanier". Also, I didn't feel it needed the extra 2T of chili powder at the end. It was spicy enough for me without it. I liked the combo of meat and pork and I probably simmered it longer than an hour so everything was super tender.

I've made this a few times. The first time, I used both beef and pork, but the texture was just off--the beef was not as tender as the pork. So the second time around I used all pork. I died and went to chili heaven, plus I had lots of leftovers to go there again.

This recipe was a hit at first attempt. I made only half the amount, and used only beef. Also used
less cumin and chili powder to fit my family's taste. I put in 1 can of tomatoes (if you do the full- size recipe I would recommend 2 cans, and less 1 cup stock. It came out perfect,and the meat was tender 50 min after adding beans.

This is a great chili recipe with different flavors. The meat was not as tender as I was hoping at the one hour cooking mark, not to mention it was still a bit watery for my 'chili' taste. I kept simmering for another hour (2 hours total and shredded most of the beef chunks I could find as another reader suggested. Turned out with a perfect consistency and was gobbled up. Left the rice out and just served in a bowl, with some cheddar cheese and a side of tortilla chips!

This was a terrible chili recipe. It turned out very watery. There was too much broth and not enough tomato. I pulsed a few times in the food processor and added tomato sauce to make it edible. It is hard to believe it garnered so many positive reviews.

Really wonderful. I used ground pork and chuck it was one of the best. I split the recipe because my daughter is not able to eat garlic. Her's was as good as ours. Rarely is it that easy for me. I served this with Ina's corn bread. A perfect meal.

This is Killer chili recipe. The flavors are just wonderful; deep and robust, but not hot. Mine was a little thinner than I'd like so I made a roux to the color of a new penny and it was fabulous.

What a great recipe! I have a variety of food modification needs in my family...no one is picky, just medical dietary needs. This is a recipe that I can make then dish out and make work for everyone. I love that aspect. Adding protein is a problem at times but blending the beans and adding them to the soup did double duty as protein and a thickener. The 1/3 cp chili powder was a tad much but I blended the second can of beans and added to the broth and it was perfect. Serving it over Basmati rice and topping with cheddar cheese for one child, and serving just the meat with cornbread on the side for another child worked well...I often need to cook double meals at once to work through dietary needs. This recipe eliminated my double duty. The adults jazzed it up with cilantro and sliced pickled jalapenos. Try this recipe you won't be disappointed. I cooked it an additional hour and used chuck roast and a pork butt roast...melt in your mouth tender!
