    Well with all the great reviews this got I was pretty sure it was going to be great. It was! I do agree that it is a little spicy. Which is something I enjoy, but I don't think that my 3 yr. old and 18mo. old will be able to eat. Next time I will cut down on the chili powder for them, 2Tbls should do it. Thanks so much for this recipe it will be replacing the one I have made for years. Thanks again! angieac

    I followed the recipe ratios as given, and based on the suggestions of other reviewers, I used canned diced tomatoes ( Hey it's January in Minnesota !! ) and I used a crockpot. The chili was very good, however based on the chili I bought last night at Wendy's, I must warn you that this recipe has more heat. Also because I was not simmering the chili in an open pot, mine was not as thick. To make up for that, I added one tablespoon of corn starch mixed with an equal amount of cold water. Of course timing will be different using a crockpot, so I called it done when the tomatoes started to fall apart, and the onion was no longer crunchy.

    I loved the texture, it was very similar to Wendy's. Flavour was not the same but it was still delicious. First time I followed the recipe exactly and was un-decided on whether it was to salty or not, some bites were way to salty. With seasonings it is often personal preference. Second time I adjusted the seasoning to 1 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp sugar. Used one green chili(jalapeno with seeds). Other seasonings were kept the same. Fresh spices make a big difference to flavour. I used two cans of kidney beans and simmered for 2 hours. This makes about 8 cups and freezes very nicely. Thanks for sharing, it is a keeper!!!
