“This is one of the best chili's I've ever made. I'm not sure why this recipe is so good, but it is! It has your basic chili ingredients, nothing special on the ingredient list, but it comes together perfectly well, and the family raved about it. I added a cup ” — a cook, 5.0★
“This recipe is quick, easy and delicious! I had to limit myself to only one (large) bowl or else I would have hurt myself! Didn't have 3 jalapeños, so I used to chipotle peppers and one fat fresh jalapeño. Kept the seeds and ribs of the fresh jalapeño but disc” — a cook, 5.0★
