My whole family loved it and thought it would win prizes at a chili cook-off! I would recommend it to all. It made a huge pot for days and days, so you may want to cut it in half for just a one or two night dinner.

This was fantastic chili! It was a really cold day and this chili hit the spot! Plus it was easy to make!!! We will have this chili all winter!! There are only two of us so we probably have leftovers for the rest of winter! Haha! I cut the recipe in half and we still had lots!! Yay for leftovers!!!

LOVED THIS RECIPE, IT MADE ENOUGH FOR 2 NIGHTS. NEXT TIME WOULD NOT USE AS MUCH CINNAMON, OR JUST LEAVE IT OUT.

This is a chili that has a perfect flavor -- it is not too hot, so even kids like it, and yet it still has a full, delicious taste! And it is very easy to make.

This is a great recipe for delicious, thick chili! I left out the sour cream and brown sugar, but I added extra onion, and since I accidently drained the beans I added an extra can of diced tomatoes to make it a little more juicy. The chili came out great and everyone loved it! I would highly recommend this chili recipe.

The grandchildren loved it, but my husband Sal battled gas pains for 3 days. Since then I've made it twice, but of course Sal has stayed away. I plan on making it for Superbowl Sunday! Very tasty...

Everyone in the family liked this--even the picky eaters. We're looking for ways to add beans to our menu--looks like this is a great one!
