The Best Chili You Will Ever Taste

This was a good recipe, but I wouldn't go as far as the best chili I have ever tasted. I decreased the sugar to 1/4 cup and I'm glad I did. It would have definitely been too sweet otherwise. I was unsure if the beans or tomatoes were supposed to be drained as the directions didn't indicate it. So I drained the beans, but kept the juice the tomatoes were in. The chili is not as thick as I like it, but I think that is my fault since I cooked it in the crockpot instead of stovetop. More liquid evaporates off and condenses when you do it on the stove top. I probably would have given it a 5 if the directions had been clearer and not called for so much sugar to make it too sweet. Obviously, taste is subjective. It is definitely a good recipe to start with. I'll probably make it again, tweaking it a bit more. Thanks for the recipe!

Hi amanda, wrote a review on your spectacular recipe...was a little harsh with regards to the sugar content. Either way I LOVED the dish, was absolutely fantastic. I still think a slight reduction in the sugar makes sence...kind of like salt or pepper, used to taste

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.
