Delicious and easy!

I was a bit hesitant about making this recipe because 1) I'm terrible at cooking, and 2) it seemed really meaty and I'm not a... meaty girl. I substituted the ground chuck for ground turkey breast and cut it down by half. I also used a can of diced tomatoes instead of the roma and included the liquid which helped make it more "chili-like". Once it was done, I substituted non-fat greek yogurt for sour cream which again made it more like chili rather than taco filling. Overall, it tasted great, and was quite simple to make. Yay, thanks!Read more

Southwestern Chili con Carne
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the BEST chili I have ever had..I used ground sirloin and added some extra chicken broth and upped the amount of... black beans. I will never make the standard chili with kidney beans I grew up with again..I never liked kidney beans in the first place; the black beans aren't as "mealy" for me...the seasonings are perfect! Try making Emeril's "Kickin' Chili Tamale Pie" with this recipe for your leftover chili..great way to stretch a dollar.Read more

Delicious!

Took other readers advice, used 1/2 the meat. I added more beans and added a little more spices. You can also use canned... tomatoes instead of the fresh tomatoes, and other type of beans. This is a very quick chili that tastes great.Read more
