    Made this for our Independence Day family gathering and it received rave reviews. I decided to sit down and write a review as I enjoyed a bowl of the leftovers for lunch; I thinks it's even better two days later!

    We really liked this chili recipe. I didn't even add the chili peppers to it and it still had just the spiciness we wanted. I also put in the beans early with the rest of the ingredients. the chili tasted even better the second day!

    This recipe made my 'ho hum' chili' friends absolutely rave!!! I added extra cumin and chili's plus beef broth instead of water. It's a winner for me!

    Added chili in adobo for a little kick and a brewsky instead of the water. It was a great chili!

    We liked this chili. I changed it a little by adding the kidney beans in the beginning instead of near the end. I also drained the ground beef. Some chili's go well with cornbread, but I think this was better with saltine crackers.
