Very rich, next time I will sub tomato sauce for the tomato paste. I also used green, yellow, and red bell peppers....a little of each. Added wonderful color. We all liked the idea of sour cream instead of the traditional chopped onions and cheese. Served with home-made bread, it was yummy!

I made this chili for a potluck at work, and my co-workers LOVED it. I've made it for almost everyone I know and had the same response from all, it's the best chili they've ever tasted. It's the official chili recipe in our house. I love cinnamon and it compliments this recipe very well.

This was a great recipe. I did not, however, care for the Cinnamon. It not do too much for the flavor, but the smell was too strong for chili. Next time I will add cumin instead or cinnamon, garlic, and an extra can of tomatoes.

Excellent! I used 1lb ground beef and 1lb sausage and added a tsp of garlic for some kick.

Everyone loved this chili. Made it for a family of four and had a lot of leftover so we froze it and used it for a quick meal with a bake potato or for a snack.
