I made this chili tonight and couldn't have been happier with the outcome. It is very thick and the cinnamon adds just the right flavor. I know that I will be making this recipe for a long time.

Easy to make and very, very tasty. I used tomatoes with mild chilis and one pack of regular chili seasoning mix and 1 pack of HOT chili seasoning mix which gave it just the right heat. I also added minced garlic.

My family loved it!!! It's the best recipe of chilli that I have ever made. The 3 beans and the added can of corn, made it so colorful. I definitely will make this over and over again.

A thicker recipe than we like. Added tomato juice/water. Very good with elbow macaroni.

this was the best chili. i only used 1.5 lbs of meat and one each of the cans of beans. instead if cinnamon i used a little brown sugar. i also used tomato sauce and no tomato paste. the chili was wonderful. i made homemade tortilla chips to go along with the chili. i will be making this very often.

This was soooo good. I added more meat, didn't use the cinnamon, and then gave it a little kick with more chili powder, cayenne pepper and some hot sauce. I love that you can fix it in about 30 minutes and there is so much of it that you can eat it for leftovers or even freeze some. Very good and I will make it again.
