You'll never make another chili again!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for the first time about 4 or 5 years ago and now every fall I have friends asking me when they can come over for... it. Some of the chili powders are hard to find, but you can get them at most mexican groceries. I have made the recipe with a couple of variations that have been great too. Sometimes I add a can of Bud Light. Other times I have added a can of corn or green beans. Once I ever put in half a Hershey's chocolate bar. It was great. Feel free to throw in some curry powder too.Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I HAVE MADE THIS CHILI TWICE FOR A CHILI COOK OFF AND IT WON TWICE. NOW I AM GOING TOMAKE AGAIN THIS MONTH OF OCTOBER FOR... ANOTHER CHILI COOK OFF. I HAD TO FIND A MEXICAN STORE TO BUY SOME OF THE POWDERS AND IT DOES TAKE 3 HOURS TO MAKE BUT IT IS WORTH IT. NANCY H.Read more

Awesome chili! This is the recipe I use every time. I vary it a little so it doesn't get too spicy, but otherwise, a great... chili!Read more

Incredible Chili, Thanks George
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

While time consuming, this chili is well worth the wait. Prep time is short, but cook time is lengthy. You don't need to... "babysit" this one, just set your timer and add ingredients as specified. Make sure to take the time to find all the different chili powders (I made a lot of them myself) as the number of peppers (I thing seven in all) really add to the depth of flavor. I also require beans in my chili, so I added a 40 oz can of red kidney beans to make the best chili I have ever eaten. Don't hesitate to try this one.Read more

Surprisingly Excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was leary at first because the lack of beans in the recipe. This recipe was packed with flavor and because of the chunks... of meat that it called for, I can't see beans working in the chili recipe anyway. My family thanks you!Read more

Best Ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Can't get tri tip here so used top round, added a large can of Bush's chili beans at the end because I NEED beans in my... chili. Lots of work cutting the meat and takes 3.5 hours but worth the time and effort. I've been told by everyone who tries it that it's the best chili they've ever tasted and I agree.Read more
