I'm a chile lover and this one was great!! I served it one nite while I had a group over to play cards and they loved it! I did add about a half cup of wine to it -- try that sometimes, it's wonderful.

A quick simple meal that makes a lot! I substituted chili powder for the cinnamon which gave it a little bite.

Very good although I perfer a chili with a little bit of a spicey kick so next time that is the only change I will make.

This recipe was awesome! It was tasty as well as quick and easy and clean-up was a breeze. My favorite part of the recipe was the 3-Bean Combo. It really added color and great flavor. I was only cooking for 2 people so I cut the ingredients in half and still had plenty for lunch the next day for both my husband and me. I would highly recommend this recipe if you like chilli!

This recipe was great! It makes a LOT of food though so you may want to half it. Also, I cooked it following the recipe but would make a few changes. Put beans, tomatoes, paste, and seasoning in separate pot and start warming it. Cook onions and peppers, then add to pot. LAST, cook meat and add to pot. This keeps the meat from getting hard and chewy. All in all, this recipe is great!
