not good
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

honestly the worst chili i have ever made. we were so excited to try this after reading the reviews. i followed the recipe... exactly against my better judgement. way way to much seasoning. the amount lasted would be enough for 5 pots. do yourself a favor and try a different recipe.Read more

Great meaty Chili
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I used it as a base recipe and entered a Chili Cookoff. I came in second due to hotness, but it ranked as first for overall... taste. The only changes I made, were cutting the pumkin spice in half, and adding dark red kidney beans. I know that is against some of the 'rules", but it added something to it. Also added some shredded taco cheese. Overall, it was a great chili and a definate make again. Thanks Scott!Read more

Looking for something different
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this chili about a year ago for the very first time. I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't as hot as the recipe... sounds, it just has a smoky flavor which was very good. All my guest couldn't get enough of it. This is the only chili that I make anymore. Thanks for the recipe.Read more

For not using fresh ingredients, really good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was amazed at how good this turned out to be for just using spices versus fresh ingredients, such as fresh garlic! For the... "Texas Chili Powder" I used "William's Texas Chili Seasoning", since I couldn't get the brand identified in the recipe.Read more
