    Excellent depth of flavors. Loved the smoked Gouda on top. A bit too spicy for me and not spicy enough for my husband which probably means it's perfect for most people! The prep time took longer for me because my knife skills aren't as good as Rachaels'.

    Several elements sent this chili recipe to another level. Searing the ground beef on high with the Montreal steak seasoning is absolutely brilliant. Some nice fresh Mexican cumin adds amazing smokiness. Just one chipotle and a little of the adobo sauce works for us. I also did not have beer on hand and used the reviewers tip to add Ginger ale (great substitute. I also added a pinch of brown sugar and a generous squirt of ketchup to round out the tomato flavor for my taste buds (personal preference.We really loved the depth of flavor in this recipe.

    Awesome chili! I've made it twice. The first time, I did it exactly like the recipe. The second go round, I didn't have beer so I used ginger ale in it's place. Still turned out great! This chili is very hearty & chunky.

    I love chili and the flavor was super good but very very hot. I would have liked the heat index to be on the recipe next time. That way I could make it not so hot. I had never used the chipotle peppers before and went directly by the recipe. Later looked on the reviews and saw how someone else had the same problem. It is always a good idea to read the reviews B4 cooking the recipe.

    I used to hate chili until my roommate made some delicious vegetarian chili with qorn (fake meat. Instead of waiting around for her to make it again (that was like 9 months ago, I decided to find a recipe and make it myself and make it with real meat. After researching several recipes I settled on this one and it was amazing! I didn't follow the recipe exactly; I just used what I had on hand and it turned out great. I used chicken broth, ground beef, regular chili powder, a jar of roasted red peppers, cheap chardonnay instead of beer, and I added a couple of serrano peppers and some kidney beans in addition to the black beans. I only had a few baby portobellos. I used cheddar and montery jack cheeses, but I bet the gouda will be delicious next time. I served the chili with guacamole, chips and sour cream. This is my go to chili recipe now! =

    This chili was great, however it was also very very hot. I had not used chipotle seasoning before so I used the exact amount called for. Once the chili was made I had to modify it as we just couldn't eat it - the flavor is outstanding, but hot.

    I added in a 19oz can of mixed beans; 2 cans-28 oz diced tomatoes;I used Pipers Pale Ale (Don't think it matters what beer you use I also used regular mushrooms as I didn't have the shiitake or portobello on hand.

    To serve it, I fried potatoes and then served the chili on top of the potatoes, and had fresh, warm bread. I will make this recipe again for sure, but next time I will start with 1 tbsp of chipotle chili powder and add more if we need it.

    loved this chili! the only thing I did different was use roasted red peppers instead of fresh peppers. I think it helped make it a little spicier.
