Yet another poor chili recipe on FN--when I made this recipe, I had to adjust many things, because it's simply out of whack, with too much meat, not enough chili powder and too many peppers to be proportional and balanced. Then again, what would I expect from Guy Fueri, and I must have forgotten my impression that he's not a good chef; an impression that has been shared with several pro-chefs and most vocally/commonly by Anthony Bourdain.

I would give this 100 stars. Best chili ever. I don't always have the exact ingredients on hand, typically only use the ground meats and sometimes use different combinations of tomato (crushed tomatoesand different kinds of beans (black beans. Doesn't matter, I think the key to this recipe is the roasted peppers. WOW!!

My search for the most amazing chili recipe is over, this is it!!! Has great depth of flavors with all the different meats, peppers and spices...it's a lot of ingredients but completely worth it. I did cut down on some of the hot dry spices, just so it would appeal to everyone eating it, and even doing that it still had some great heat. A definite keeper, and I will never go back to my old chili recipes!

Fantastic! Best Chili that I have made at home. Reducing the amount of chicken stock by half allows for a much thicker consistency, which I prefer over a soup viscosity.

Hubby and I made this for friends and loved it! Made as written but for roasting the peppers and the beer. Neither of us drink and using broth worked just as well I think.
As said many times before, who ever was timing the prep on this was maybe thinking of ONE part. It takes at least two hours for prep (for people who don't already have everything on the counter and ready to go. Had to run to the store due to my Darling Daughter hiding the can opener. Still no idea how she got it.

Didn't make the fries, have no intention of making the fries. Paired with corn bread.

We loved it. Making it again soon. As like most people we were able to tell that the meat and veggies would NOT cook well in even the largest pan we had, we cooked separately and added everything together at the end.

Spicy but not that much, our 2 year old daughter ate two bowls and wanted more! Unlike some she's not that picky, but cant stay focused on her food so this was great!

I made this yesterday for the second time -- I must have had a brain lapse since the first time. I agree with other reviewers: way too many ingredients, way too complicated, way too much time (prep time is seriously off , way too much much meat, and yeah, expensive, too. It's nicely spicy, and good, but I won't make this recipe again. Making good chili shouldn't be this hard. Also, on a side note, since he does most of it from scratch, why use canned beans? I did soak and cook my own kidney beans, but that wasn't the hard part. They cooked and were long done while I was still chopping, prepping, and measuring the rest of the recipe. And by the way, with that massive amount of chopped onion and peppers in my pot, it took a lot longer and didn't actually caramelize, and there was scarcely room for the meat to "brown"...which really never browned, just cooked, with all those ingredients together in the pot. Dumb idea to try to brown it with all the other stuff in there, IMHO.

This is the best chili recipe ever. To save time I roast the peppers on the top of my gas range indoors then put in a ziploc freezer bag after slightly cooled. Makes for easy peeling. I make this after New Year's and include scraps of beef tenderloin from a large roast that was trimmed for the holidays. Also add any steak tips that have been in the freezer for a little bit. It is to die for.

I HATE CHILI! With that said, I did until this recipe. I have made this so many times I can't even count. My husband and I prep together and we give ourselves about 1/2 an hour. We have done many different modifications (never used bacon fat, and it is just TASTY no matter how you do it. Crockpot or stovetop, I recommend this to everyone. There are only two of us so we cut it in half, and I prefer Fritos to the fries any day. TRY THIS RECIPE!

This may be an "overdone" recipe, but that's because the taste is Over the Top!! Very true, TONS of ingredients, but they blend together very well. I had to giggle reading TallMegh comment about the person who estimated the prep and cook times.I totally agree that they must have smoked a phatty crack rock before preparation because there is NO WAY prep takes 10 mins and cook time is 15! I see it says "inactive" for 2 hrs and 2 hrs is about the total cook time. My husband and I did prep together and we were not slow about it since we were in a time crunch to get it on and cooking...2 of us working pretty quickly, prep was about 30 mins, so I would say 1 person doing it would take about an hr or a little more for prep. Overall this recipe is off the hook! Very good, but very time consuming. Definitely NO DISAPPOINTMENT this way!

Another of Fieri's overdone recipes...lots of ingredients, most of which compete for flavor, lots of work. Very unsatisfying results. You can get a much better chili with half these ingredients and less effort. For all the time you’re going to put on this recipe...think you’re going to be disappointed.
