My husband and I love chili and we like trying different chili recipes. This one is very different. It tasted sweeter than I thought it would, even though the title does say "sweet". It sort of exceeded my expectation in that regard. All-in-all, very flavorful and something I would make again, when I was in the mood for something different. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

I am not usually a chili fan, but my friend wanted to do a chili cook off so I tried this one... First it won the contest, and now I am a big fan of chili!! I substituted 1 lb of ground beef and 1 lb of italian sausage, and did one yellow and one orange bell pepper, and instead of 2 cans of chili beans I did one and one can of maple cured bacon baked beens. So good!!!! I am going to make another batch this weekend.

This is a really great recipe. I LOVED the sweetness of the honey and cinnamon, but it may have masked the spiciness of the hotter ingredients. I would suggest adding more heat (more jalapenos and chili powder) if you like spicy chili. I'll definitely make this one again. Thanks, Tracie!!

I was looking for a recipe to use peppadew peppers (piquant sweet pepper) and this seemed worth an experiment. I used the peppadews instead of the jalpenos and took out the cinnamon, other that that recipe as written, this is on our favorites list now and will be quite the regular. Can't wait to have it again, thanks

Quite a tasty bowl of chili! I added twice as much chili powder, garlic and jalapeno and a bit less honey. I also omitted the beans. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Excellent chili recipe. Here are a few variations that I enjoy - I use a yellow pepper (sweet), add a some cooked tofu (you won't even know it's there, and it's good for you!) and I throw in about 1/2 cup of sweet basil tomato sauce. Yummy!

At first I was a little skeptical about cinnamon and honey in chili but I thought, overall it sounds pretty good and something new to try. I did make a few variations solely for not liking an ingredient or that it wasn't spicy enough. 1. I traded mild green chilies for the jalapenos (mot big on jalapenos). And after tasting the chili I needed about double the amount of chili powder and cumin to the spiciness I like (since I didn't use jalapenos). and 2. I didn't add the garlic or bell pepper (personal preferences). That all said and done - my family scraped the cooking pot clean! Honestly I think it was the hint of sweetness in there. The cinnamon and honey really give it a wonderful little taste like nothing else. An excellent recipe that will be a family favorite!
