I also LOVE this recipe! It is so simple yet full of flavor. I have made chili from an old joy of cooking cookbook my mom had...this recipe is by far much much better. I honestly think the cumin is what makes this taste great. I have also substituted canned tomatoes, and usually use 2 cans of black beans.I've made it without the fresh chili and I don't miss it! Definitely try if you are looking for a super tasty, easy, and FAST chili recipe! :D

Fantastic recipe! I halved it as it was only going to be for my husband and I so figured the orignial recipe was just too much. We still ended up with leftovers which I froze for future use. I cut back on the cumin and added some paprika. I also omitted the garlic powder all the togetrher simply because I used the fresh garlic and didn't want to overpower the dish with too much spice. Anyway, I don't know if my omissions and additions did anything for it, but we loved this chili. Served it with some cut up avocado, sour cream, and shredded cheese. Really great meal!
