    I made a variation of this recipe. I used ground beef instead of London Broil. I think the LB would be better, but when I found this recipe I was specifically looking for something to do with the ground beef I had on hand. I also has some pumpkin pie spice that I got for Christmas and since I don't like pumpkin pie, I thought this would be a good use for this as well.

    I also couldn't find the Texas Style chili powder nor the chipotle sauce in my local store. I used regular chili powder and added Cheyenne pepper to spice mix 1.

    I know "real" chili does not have beans, but I have to have them in my chili so I added a couple of cans of pinto beans. I also used a shallot instead of an onion. And at my daughters request left out the green pepper. :(

    I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty this was. I would like to try it again with the Texas style powder and the chiplotle sauce and the London Broil.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Husband thought it needed beans so the next day (hotter still too we added kidney beans & it was very good then too. Froze some & will have some when it's cool again!

    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.

    This is one of the best recipes for chili that I've ever tried! In fact, it's the only one I use anymore. We were all getting tired of bland chili - this was definitely the cure for that!

    Very intersting and tasty recipe. Prep and cooking are long and the Pumpkin tends to overwhelm the other ingredients.

    Next time a little less pumpkin and it should be fine.

    Then again, I like my chili with beans, what do I know?
