I think there's an error too!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Lucille, Let's see if we get any answer here because I noticed the same thing. Not only did she say "low" she set it on low... and then said "4 to 6 hours." Maybe in a crock pot it's all about the same but maybe not. Also, it would be cool if there was a way to skip the rating with a "Pending".Read more

I leave out the bacon and use chile ancho powder, it's perfect every time.

Easy and tasty
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I would definitely make this again. You could even serve this on buns with cheese - kind of like a barbeque beef sandwich. I... only used 2 cans of diced green chiles, and I added 1 tablespoon of minced chipotle in adobo. It definitely added more flavor. I served the chili with corn muffins. Read more

My Kids loved it

And at 8 and 10 they are picky eaters. They couldn't understand why there weren't any beans but after a fast history lesson... on chili they got over that part. I did modify it slightly using only 2 cans of chili peppers and adding a can of chipotle for a little extra smokeyness. Made for a great addition to our Suoerbowl evening Read more

My Family's Favorite
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made this several times and found that it tasted best when I used pork instead of beef. I cut up a pork butt roast into... small pieces and followed the recipe, adding pinto & kidney beans to it for a more traditional chili. I served it over brown rice and topped it with low-fat sour cream and extra chopped onions.Read more
