My thought is if your going to make the best chili, shouldn't you also make your own beans? Now come on, fair is fair LOL! I did make my own, and with this recipe to make chili, we had an award winning recipe all the way! Thank you Amanda for this recipe. My wife and I will be using it many times in the future.

    I loved this recipe! Like others, next time I will cut the brown sugar down to 1/4 cup and add a bit more garlic, which is my personal taste. But, this recipe got fantastic reviews from all my guests.

    Hi Amanda: I just wanted to let everyone know that I used this recipe for a Chili Cook-Off and won by division for Most Unique Chili - yes, I actually beat out the White Chili recipe for the first time. It was a lot of fun to make and people were surprised to learn the ingredients. I followed the recipe exactly and would recommend cooking it for a sligthly longer period of time, storing it in the fridge overnight, and then reheating it. It really brought out a lot of flavor. Thanks for the recipe.

    Fabulous chili! It was indeed the best I'd tasted. Served it with cornbread and a dollop of sour cream on top. Left out the 4 chili peppers and subbed chili powder for chili sauce, and it still tasted great.
